Let's not forget, "cowboy" was a term used to describe thieves and murderers such as Ike Clanton and his gang in the Tombstone, AZ area
Did you just make this up ?????
No I didn't make that up. Where were you when they taught US History? The term "cowboy" was not the same then as it is now days. Maybe the Hollywood version would better suit you. So watch Wyatt Earp or Tombstone.
A "cattleman" is someone who raises cattle. Double Duh!!!!!!
Now days, a "cowboy" is someone who loses too many football games.
