Anyone knows the European ancestry that made most American cowboys? I know that the frontierβs biggest demographic now are German Americans.

German migrants went mostly to the great plains, which are rural areas but colder, where there has always been more farming than ranching.
Cowboys proper were in Texas and the Southwest where most people have been Hispanic mestizos or US Southerners (mostly derived from Southern England, the Midlands and Southern Scotland).
