"cattles'?

Saturday, March 12, 2016
 On a local TV station, I watched a correspondent say: "The state government has warned herdsmen to tame their cattles." Excuse me, who says the word "cattle" can take on an 's', as if it is a countable noun? Sorry, "cattle" is "always "cattle" and it is a non-count noun that must not take on an 's' in any case whatsoever. I repeat, never you add 's' to the word "cattle". Is that clear enough?
