Cattle ranchers are individuals or families who raise and manage cattle for various purposes, primarily for beef production. They typically own large areas of land, known as ranches, where they graze their cattle. Ranchers are responsible for the health and well-being of their animals, ensuring they have adequate food, water, and shelter. In addition to raising cattle, ranchers often engage in other activities such as breeding, marketing, and selling livestock. They may also work with related industries, including veterinarians for animal health and feed suppliers for nutrition. Cattle ranching plays a significant role in the agricultural economy.
