a collective word, which signifies the fourfooted animals, which serve either for tillage the ground, or for food to men. They are distinguished into large, or black cattle; and into small cattle: of the former are horses, bulls, oxen, cows, and even calves and heifers; amongst the latter are rams, ewes, sheep, lambs, goats, kids, &c. Cattle are the chief stock of a farm: they who deal in cattle are styled graziers.
