+
+A cowboy is an animal herder who tends cattle on ranches in North America,
+traditionally on horseback, and often performs a multitude of other ranch-
+related tasks. The historic American cowboy of the late 19th century arose
+from the vaquero traditions of northern Mexico and became a figure of special
+significance and legend. A subtype, called a wrangler, specifically tends the
+horses used to work cattle. In addition to ranch work, some cowboys work for
+or participate in rodeos. Cowgirls, first defined as such in the late 19th
+century, had a less-well documented historical role, but in the modern world
+have established the ability to work at virtually identical tasks and obtained
+considerable respect for their achievements. There are also cattle handlers
+in many other parts of the world, particularly South America and Australia,
+who perform work similar to the cowboy in their respective nations.
