In Australia, the term 'stockman/woman' is used rather than 'rancher'.Stockmen refers to a person who cares for livestock on a station (ranch).
Water buffaloes were brought to Australia from Indonesia for meat in the 1820s. The northern part of Australia was very remote from the rest of settlement in Australia, and the early settlers needed livestock that would survive and thrive in the environment.
Pigs were introduced into Australia with the First Fleet, which arrived on 26 January 1788. Among the livestock and provisions, 32 pigs are listed as being on the First Fleet. Pigs were introduced purely for food, as the British colonists had no food supplies already established: thus, they relied on livestock until they could get some crops growing.
