Ranching

Normally, the area outside of a city would be called a suburb. Or you could call it a rural area. Rural normally refers to an area where a lot of farming occurs.

Most were the traditional house-wife that cooked, cleaned house, gave birth to kids, etc. However that's not to say that they weren't involved in the ranch activities as much as the men were, because a lot of ranch wives were also good horse-women as well, riding, roping and rounding up cattle along with the other cow-hands. Most packed a gun too, both as defense against vermin and rustlers but also for their own safety.

In today's world, there are more and more women that are owners and very active ranchers. There are quite a few that are more than capable of running a ranch on their own and are the go-to people that make the decisions and manage the ranch according to their philosophies, the land they live in and the cattle they raise. Husband and wife are partners in the ranching business, with either person taking half the duties of the other. It seems, in the 20th century, that women play a much bigger part in the cattle industry than they have 200 years ago.

If you want to be a rancher you will enjoy it more if you like cattle.

Cattle ranching in Kenya began as early as the 15th century. The most popular cattle in the area is Boran cattle and in 1951, the Boran Cattle Breeders Society was founded.

Douglas County ;)

In Bonsall, California, there is a ranch called 'Rawhide Ranch". You don't ride with saddles there. You ride bareback, but with a saddle pad.

a dude ranch is where visitors learn about the ranching way of life. a guest ranch is where visitors get to do a variety of activities not necessarily connected with ranching.

The development of the railroad made it profitable to raise cattle on the Great Plains. In 1860, some five-million longhorn cattle grazed in the Lone Star state. Cattle that could be bought for $3 to $5 a head in Texas could be sold for $30 to $50 at railroad shipping points in Abilene or Dodge City in Kansas.

Simply put, yes.

Yes. Lots of people raise cattle in Louisiana. Cattle is a common industry for that area.

Do you mean the chocolate

Small ranch. Small can mean different things to different people. 20 acres sounds like a ranchette.

It's more of the fact that it is, and remains to be, a way of life. Though there's no money in it nowadays, its the hard work involved and satisfaction one gets from having beef cattle, no matter if they're not getting much out of it income-wise. Raising cattle is, I guess you could say, a bit of a status symbol and it even can be a sign of respect and pride of ownership, especially if you've got great looking cattle to show off in that pasture that runs by the road.

Other things that make raising beef cattle important to farmers and ranchers are the fact that raising beef cattle is less labour intensive than raising and looking after other livestock. The cows are flexible; they can often look after themselves, and only need shelter, feed, and water to keep them happy. This is also the reason why raising cattle can be made into a part-time job or hobby. Select good cattle that don't need much help with calving or breeding or need constant pampering means less work for the cattle raiser. Cattle are great for utilizing land that is not suitable for grain production. This includes mountain valleys, foothills, and prairie land that is filled with hills and valleys that make it impossible for a tractor and plough to make a dent in. This use for land makes them low polluters simply because they are not confined to a drylot for long periods. Cows use low-quality roughages better than other livestock; horses, sheep, goats and chickens are picky about what they eat and often need higher concentrated diets with specific forages to meet their health needs. Cattle make greater use of homegrown feeds than any other livestock, with little to no need of buying supplementations or anything like that. They provide an elastic outlet for grain. When there's lots of grain, the excess can be fed to the cattle. When there's a poor crop, pasture and roughage will still be enough to rpoduce lots of beef. Cattle return up to 80% of the material they took in plant matter back to the soil, maintaining soil fertility, and in doing so help utilize soil-building legumes in those pastures and crop rotations.

There are several other reasons, but I think you get the idea.

Yes, I believe most do.

Cattle don't need to be watched, unlike sheep and chickens do. Cattle can look after themselves enough that the farmer doesn't need to watch them all that often. Other things on the farm or ranch can be attended to, like haying, fixing fence, doing repairs on machinery, etc.

The only "Cattle" Farmers are called Dairy Farmers and they are either milking, feeding, breeding, or doctoring the Dairy Cattle, usually when you speak of cattle it is beef cattle.
