Answer:
Back in the days when cowboys were common, horses were the obvious choice if you wanted to get around without walking, so cowboys weren't named for what they rode(as everybody used horses), but for the animals they were working with - the cows.
While it is true that cowboys roundup and work cattle there is also a place in a pecking order that the cowboy fits into. The Cattle Baron, The Cattleman and then the cowboy(who usually did all the work). This was what led to the illegal side of the picture which was the cattle rustler.
