Were mining and ranching more important for the growth of the west than agriculture?
I would say that they were, agriculture had already been sufficiently established in the American heartland (Midwest) so the need for larger pastures is not an accurate statement. Mining was mainly along the Western/Pacific coastline like the California and Alaska Gold Rushes whereas ranching took off in the Southwest where cowboys and ranching lore began.
Describe how cattle ranching changed the west?
Cattle ranching changed the west because it encouraged more people to settle the west and buy the land. It also brought in the railroad which was also used for transportation of people to the west instead of wagon trains. It was much easier travel by train and much faster. It also encouraged barbed wire fencing that let people regulate their own land and settlers could claim and protect their property and livestock.
Was a large plantation a characteristic unit of western agriculture?
NO! Large plantations were usually only seen in the "Deep South" (Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, etc) and were usually the exception. Many farms were big but few were "plantation" size. After the war with Mexico the prevailing agricultural norm in the south west was ranching or livestock bast agriculture.
