A good cowboy can 'read' the cattle. He knows where the cattle need to get to but the cattle will help choose the path. They will follow familiar trails. The cowboy uses his horse to 'push' the cattle in the direction and speed he wants. A good cowboy knows how hard to push different ages of cattle. Cows that move among familiar pastures regularly almost move themselves. Cowboys get the cattle gathered into a herd and then there are usually outriders on the sides to keep the cattle headed the right direction and then there are trailing riders who push the cattle at the proper speed.

What is the modern American concept of cowboy?
I myself am american. Movies everywhere portray cowboys with guns, horses, girls, lassos, and bars. Since we go to school. We know that cowboys herded buffalos and kept them safe. Also they shot at anyone who wanted to take the millions of dolars of buffalo. They earned a good profit from the hard times of protecting the buffalo. African americans mostly helped out with this so we know that cowboys in fact are not all white but all races.
