Cattle don't need to be watched, unlike sheep and chickens do. Cattle can look after themselves enough that the farmer doesn't need to watch them all that often. Other things on the farm or ranch can be attended to, like haying, fixing fence, doing repairs on machinery, etc.

The only "Cattle" Farmers are called Dairy Farmers and they are either milking, feeding, breeding, or doctoring the Dairy Cattle, usually when you speak of cattle it is beef cattle.

How did ranchers and farmers think different about cattle ranching?

Ranchers wanted to use the land to graze their cattle on and make money off of their cattle, whereas the farmers wanted to use that same land to grow their crops. Farmers didn't like (and they still don't) cattle free-ranging across their fields, and a bit of friction was caused between ranchers with their free-ranging cattle and the farmers who just wanted to plant a few plots of wheat for their families.
