Answer 1:

It has no specific area, no specific population of livestock and no specific location. It is a ranch if that is what you call it. Your neighbors might be laughing behind your back and the term "All Hat and No Cows" certainly comes to play. In theory it is a place that raises cattle as a commercial enterprise. In actual practice it can be something quite different. Many ranchesare rich peoples play things and are rarely operated as means of livelyhood but as a status symbol. For example a Colorado farmer might own 13,000 acres and run cattle on 17,000 acres of Government land and choose to call himself a farmer to avoid sounding uppity.

Answer 2:An operation that specializes in raising cattle. It is an extensive way to manage native pasture and rangeland using cattle. Ranches can be as small as 20 acres or more than 100,000 acres in size. And not all ranches specialize in cattle; other ranches may raise sheep, horses, goats, bison, elk, etc.
