Cattle ranching is the practice of raising cattle for meat, milk, and other products. Ranchers manage large areas of land, known as ranches, where they provide food, water, and shelter for the animals. This type of agriculture is common in regions with vast open spaces, such as the United States, Australia, and parts of South America. Cattle ranching can be done in various ways, including pasture-based systems where cattle graze on grass, and feedlot systems where they are fed a diet of grains and supplements. The industry plays a significant role in the economy, providing jobs and contributing to food supply chains.
