I assume you are asking about the California missions. Just about each mission has the original buildings. The state does do reconstruction and repair on each mission.

They weren't turned into ranches. The missions still exist and are still working. Each mission did produce crops and had herds.
The California missions are state historical property and open for services and visitors. They are a part of our history and where they were built cities started around them that still exists today.

It is part of the California historical property of the 21 missions. Services are still held there and you can visit the mission or take a tour.
I would say that for the large majority the missions of California ended due to the Westward Expansion (of America) which in turn weakened the influence and power of these missions who were put in place under the (Catholic) Spanish rule. Furthermore, when California was purchased by the United States these missions were under a new authority that did not have a national religion.
