The forum was a civic and religious centre where the town senate house, the assembly point for voting, the administrative offices, the courts and m,any of the temples were located. In small towns the forum also hosted the marker. In the city of Rome the civil centre (forum civilium) and the market centre (forum venalium) were separate. The forum Magnum (or Romans forum is a modern term) was the forum civilium. The fora venalia (plural of forum venalum) were: the Forum Boarium (cattle market) the Forum Suarium (meat market) the Forum Piscarium (fish market) the Forum Holitorium (vegetable market) the Forum Vinarium (wine market) the Forum Pistorium (bakers' market) and the Forum Cuppedinis (delicatessen market).

Cowboys wrangle herds of cattle (dogies) from atop their ponies, moving them along to market, sometimes using the phrase "Git along, little dogie".The Cowboys are also a national football team (part of the NFL) of the state of Texas, also known as the Dallas Cowboys.
Back in the day, cattle were kept in open range, so different herds could be mixed up. After calves were born in the spring, the owners and their cowboys would round up the cattle and sort out which calves belonged to which mother and brand them accordingly. If the cattlemen were going to take the cattle to be sold, then they could work together to get them to market since ownership was clear.
