Ranching
Ranching is an extensive way of raising livestock, primarily grazing cattle, sheep and horses, but also involves production of many other animals. The term ranch is used loosely as it is primarily up to the owner's discretion whether his/her locale is a farm or ranch, but it is commonly known as a very large tract of land that is often used in its native state. The historical and current practices of ranching and rangeland management among other things pertaining to ranching can be discussed in this category.

How many stories does a ranch have?
Those ranches that have been around for generations tend to have more stories to tell than those ranches that have just started up.

Large businesses could buy up land, force changes to law, control stores, the shipping of goods, water rights, wages, trains and more. In 1883 there was a strike by the cowboys who helped run the ranches in Texas:
COWBOY STRIKE OF 1883. In West Texas during the 1880s new owners, representing eastern and European investment companies, gained control of the ranching industry and brought with them innovations threatening to many ranchhands. Previously, cowboys could take part of their pay in calves, brand mavericks, and even run small herds on their employers' land. New ranch owners, interested in expanding their holdings and increasing their profits, insisted that the hands work only for wages and claimed mavericks as company property. The work was seasonal. It required long hours and many skills, was dangerous, and paid only an average of forty dollars a month. The ranch owners' innovations, along with the nature of the work, gave rise to discontent.
