Morphology
stock + raiser
The meaning is directly compositional: 'stock' (livestock) + 'raiser' (one who raises) yields 'a person who raises livestock', so the overall meaning can be derived from the constituents. This follows a common English noun+agent compound pattern and would be obvious to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Stock raiser comes from stock (an old word for farm animals) and raise (to bring up and care for them). Imagine a person feeding and protecting a herd every day—so stock raiser means 'a person who breeds or raises livestock'.
