/ˈkætlmən//ˈkætlmən/

The term "cattleman" originated in the United States, particularly in the western region, during the 19th century. It refers to an individual who owns or manages livestock, specifically cattle, on a ranch or farm. The word is derived from the combination of "cattle" and "man," reflecting the role that these individuals play in managing and caring for their herds. In the early days of cattle ranching, the term was often used interchangeably with "cowboy," as these individuals were responsible for driving cattle over long distances for sale at market. Today, cattlemen, along with their families, continue to play a crucial role in the agricultural industry and the preservation of the Western ranching heritage.
