The term, 150 years ago, was “maverick”.During the war of northern aggression, the menfolk were all away fighting, and the cattle went unbranded. After the conclusion if hostilities, a Texas rancher named Maverick claimed that the unbranded cattle in the vicinity of his ranch were his, i.e. Maverick’s. The term grew to include any unbranded cattle.While cattle aren’t. strictly speaking, wild, they have rarely been domesticated to the extent of cats and dogs.
