The term CATTLE STEALER can be summarized as a RUSTLER, which is a seven-letter word. A RUSTLER is someone who steals cattle, usually from a ranch or farm. Rustling is a crime that has been around since the early days of the American West and is still a problem today. Rustlers often use horses to move the cattle quickly and quietly, and they may also use guns to threaten anyone who gets in their way. Rustlers are typically punished with jail time and/or fines.
