Cattle were useful for farmers to domesticate due to their versatility and strength. They provided a reliable source of meat, milk, and leather, which were essential for sustenance and trade.

What do farmers do when they are not watching their cattle?
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.
Why is cattle rearing really done by large farmers?
It isn't, actually. A lot of "cattle rearing" is done by small farmers too. Although it could depend on what type of cattle you're referring to: beef or dairy.
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.
