Cowboy

A cowboy is an informal term used to describe someone who is a cattle rancher. As the name implies, this is someone of the male gender, though rarely if ever actually a "boy". Their job duties include tending and raising cattle, and managing the affairs of a cattle ranch or farm. Historically, the term cowboy has evolved to include just about anyone associated with the American Southwest, whether they be cattle ranchers or not. This includes sheriffs, outlaws, gunfighters, bank robbers, rodeo performers and ranch hands. In modern context, cowboy may also refer to anyone who is an enthusiast of the timer era or culture. So if you happen to be strolling down a street in Texas or Utah and you see guy boasting a ten-gallon hat, shit-kicker boots and lots of flannel... just think of it as Western cosplay. In fiction, cowboys appear primarily in films of the Western genre.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The (1974)
The cowboy was an unnamed minor character featured in the 1974 horror film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. He was played by actor Jerry Green. The cowboy was a town local from Newt in Muerto County, Texas. In 1973, he was one of several people who came to a graveyard after reports began filing in about incidents of vandalism and grave robbing. He was seen in the early morning hours sitting in the back of a pick-up truck drinking beer with a bearded man. A young woman named Sally Hardesty approached him, inquiring as to whether the grave of her grandfather had been one of the ones that had been vandalized. The cowboy directed her to the County Sheriff, Rhesus Maldonado, who was standing nearby and told her that he would be able to confirm whether the grave had been dug up.
