In colonial times in New England, the "cowkeeper" was a person who was paid to supervise the movements of the cows to and from pasture. Since more cattle were being shipped in from the Old World, there wasn't enough room for all the cattle to graze in the "town pasture" or commons, so they were herded some distance from the commons to graze. Nowadays, the "cowkeeper" is called a rancher or cattleman, who has much larger tracts of land to have his/her cattle graze on than what the colonists had in the 15th and 16th century in America.
