A Run Of Cattle

A Run of Cattle is a collective noun phrase used to describe a group or herd of cattle that move or are driven together. It refers to a specific period of time during which cattle are being transported, herded, or brought to a market or grazing area. This phrase emphasizes the movement or unity of a large number of cattle, highlighting the fact that they are being guided, managed, or transported collectively rather than individually.
