(livestock) branding


Explanation:
Yo reformularía la frase y en vez de decir el nombre del puesto de trabajo, diría en qué consiste, porque esos nombres varían mucho de una región a otra, y a veces ni siquiera exiten como tal en otros idiomas. Por ejemplo, los marcadores (si es que no me equivoco y se refiere a marcar el ganado) en EEUU son los mismos cowboys, mientras en en Australia se les llama stockmen.

Entonces, puedes traducir: They worked as shepherds, branding livestock, etc.

Saludos!
