Etymology

The word 'cattleman' originated in the mid-19th century in America. It combines 'cattle', referring to domesticated bovine animals, and 'man', indicating a person involved in a particular activity or occupation. Cattlemen played a vital role in the development of the American West, where vast ranches were established for cattle grazing and production.
