The correct sentence would be: The cattle were grazing in the field. The word “cattle” is a collective noun and implies a herd of domestic animals.
It is therefore in the plural form. However, the wrong from of the plural version is used in the question, “cattles”.
Therefore, the sentence structure is incorrect. Some words such as “sheep”, “cattle”, “fish” are plural as such and do not need a “s” after them.
