Because they thought it a waste of space for cattle to be grazing on land that had such good soil. Back then, good soil often and primarily meant soil to raise crops on, not to graze animals.

Ranch Size:Big Ranches were created in part by European capitol who created them for prestige and for profit. Wyoming and Montana both suffered from a major winter cattle kill that bankrupted many.

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.
