Gaucho charqueadores were the sort of \"cowboy\" cattle ranchers of the south of Brasil in the 19th century... there is a certain comparison with ranchers in the old west who were creating dried meat (carne-seca), which is what charque is.

While it\'s still popular in Brasil (especially during carnaval with macaxeira in the northeast!), I\'m not sure that the term charqueador is still widely used. Thus, I\'m guessing it refers to a historical passage.

Segundo o historiador Mário Maestri, os \"fazendeiros, charqueadores, homens livres, gaúchos e cativos negros foram envolvidos e participaram, muitas vezes ombro a ombro, da Revolta Farroupilha, como o fizeram, mais tarde nas guerras civis de 1893 e 1923. Porém, os trabalhadores pastoris jamais possuíram qualquer real comunhão de ideário, político e social, com seus patrões. Fazendeiros e charqueadores lutaram em 1835 para ampliar riquezas e poder\"

Entretanto, Bento Manuel pediu e recebeu anistia para si e para os seus seguidores, abandonando os republicanos em inícios de 1841.

neutral  R. James: While I agreed at first, further checking has not turned up any use of charqueador in a modern context. If this is in fact from a historical text, it would suggest a charqueador from the 19th century, for which this might (?) be anachronistic.

  -> I guess I'm going to have to agree with you since translators never translate 19th century documents. I should've paid more attention to the vast context Mr. Silva gave us.
