The suffix '-manship' historically centered male practitioners as the default. Stockmanship emerged in 19th–20th century cattle husbandry when dairy and ranch work was divided along gender lines, with women's contributions to herd management often uncredited.
Use 'stockmanship' for the skilled practice itself, or frame as 'animal husbandry expertise' to be explicitly inclusive.
