No. Farming is, by definition, an ambiguous term for the raising of livestock (which includes any animal from chickens to pigs, or cattle, bison, horses, etc.) and/or growing crops. Cattle ranchers are people that raise cattle on an extensive operation and make it a living and a business from doing so.

How did ranchers and farmers think different about cattle ranching?

Ranchers wanted to use the land to graze their cattle on and make money off of their cattle, whereas the farmers wanted to use that same land to grow their crops. Farmers didn't like (and they still don't) cattle free-ranging across their fields, and a bit of friction was caused between ranchers with their free-ranging cattle and the farmers who just wanted to plant a few plots of wheat for their families.


Are cattle farming and dairy farming same?

Not really. Cattle farming is more of a general term encompassing both beef and dairy. Dairy farming is telling us something more specific, such as the fact that cows are being raised for the purpose of getting milk from them to be sold to retailers that distribute them to human families. Though dairy farming does involve raising and breeding cattle and can be termed "cattle farming," the proper term for raising dairy animals for the purpose of milk production is "dairy farming."
