Depends on how many cows they have, and the land. In Wyoming, they use more land because most of it is sagebrush. Farther down in Missouri they need less land because there is more grass.

It also depends on the type of cattle and season.

Pasture Rotaion is usually the best way to solve over use.

Who or what causes cattle ranching?

Ranchers or those crazy folks who buy a piece of land and use it only for grazing cattle.


Is it true that Ranchers use VeriChip to track their cattle?

Not all ranchers do. Microchipping every animal can be quite expensive, and it's often much more cheaper to use eartags to track their cattle.


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.


How did ranchers' use of land contribute to the decline of the cattle kingdom?

Ranchers' intensive use of land for cattle grazing led to overgrazing, which degraded pastures and diminished the land's productivity. Additionally, the expansion of barbed wire fencing restricted open range access, creating conflicts over land use and limiting cattle movement. The combination of these factors, along with severe droughts and the rise of agriculture in the Great Plains, contributed to the decline of the cattle kingdom by making large-scale cattle ranching less sustainable.

Where the arrival of miners cattle ranchers and homesteaders create problems in the west?

The arrival of miners, cattle ranchers, and homesteaders in the West often led to conflicts over land use and resources. Miners disrupted the land with their operations, which could harm agricultural land and water sources. Cattle ranchers and homesteaders frequently clashed over grazing rights and land ownership, leading to tensions and sometimes violent confrontations. Additionally, the influx of settlers contributed to the displacement of Indigenous peoples, further complicating the region's social dynamics.

Why do they do cattle ranching in the rain forest?

They don't use the rainforest. It's the land that the rainforest was once on that is used. Rainforests are cut down and burned to allow for more farming to be done, and grass seed to be sown so cattle can graze in those areas. The more land that a cattle baron can purchase, the larger his cattle herd can be and the more profit he can obtain when selling excess stock. Land that had been "improved" or been converted from rainforest to agricultural land is cheaper than land that has been used for agricultural purposes, thus making it a good investment for such ranchers to make as a means to increase their land size and thus their herd as well.
