Ranchers are individuals or businesses that manage and operate land primarily for raising livestock, such as cattle, sheep, or goats. They oversee all aspects of animal husbandry, including breeding, feeding, health care, and shelter, to produce meat, milk, or other products. Ranchers often work in rural areas, maintaining the land and animals for commercial purposes. Their work is vital to the agricultural industry, supporting food production and rural economies. Effective ranching combines knowledge of animal science, land management, and sustainable practices to ensure both economic viability and environmental stewardship.
