Ranching

Ranching is an agricultural practice focused on raising livestock, such as cattle, sheep, or goats, on large tracts of land. Ranchers manage these animals for various purposes, including meat, milk, wool, and leather production. The land used for ranching can vary from grassy plains to arid areas, and ranchers often employ techniques like rotational grazing to maintain the health of their pastures. Ranching plays a vital role in food production, rural economies, and can also impact local ecosystems, making sustainable practices important for balancing agricultural needs and environmental health.
