The correct answer is: "herding cattle to the plains for grazing"

The term cowboy refersto a person who worked in animal husbandry activities in North American ranches, but without being the owner of the animals or the ranch. They had a semi-nomadic way of life as depending on the season, one of their tasks was to bring the cattle to the plains where they could graze for several weeks.
