The correct response is:
Owners branded cattle that roamed freely, and then cowboys rounded them up.
In the open-range system of cattle ranching, cattle were allowed to roam freely over large expanses of unclaimed land. Ranchers would brand their cattle for identification, and cowboys would later round them up for various purposes, such as driving them to market or managing the herd.
