Cattle

1. Are both these sentences correct:


a) "He's a cattle raiser."


b) "He's a cattle breeder."



2. If both are correct, is any of them more commonly used?

  

Top answer

They are both correct and both mean two different things. A cattle raiser is a person who 'raises' cows - overseeing the development of the cow from "childhood" to "adulthood". A cattle breeder is in the profession of selecting cows to 'breed' = to purposefully have two cows come together to have a calf (a baby cow).

  • They are both correct and both mean two different things.
  • A cattle raiser is a person who 'raises' cows - overseeing the development of the cow from "childhood" to "adulthood".
  • A cattle breeder is in the profession of selecting cows to 'breed' = to purposefully have two cows come together to have a calf (a baby cow).
  • Someone can be BOTH a cattle raiser AND a cattle breeder.
  • But someone can be JUST a cattle raiser OR a cattle breeder.
