The element that describes what cowboys do to cattle is "herding." Cowboys manage and guide cattle, often moving them from one location to another, whether for grazing, branding, or driving to market. This involves skills in riding, roping, and working with the cattle to ensure their safety and well-being. Additionally, cowboys often perform tasks such as sorting and caring for the livestock.

Cowboys primarily herded cattle breeds such as Texas Longhorns, Angus, and Hereford. These breeds were favored for their hardiness and suitability for the harsh environments of the American West. Additionally, cowboys often managed mixed herds, including various types of beef cattle, as they drove them to market or new grazing lands. The skills developed in cattle herding were crucial for ranching and the overall cattle industry.
