Cattle ranching is the practice of raising and breeding cattle for various purposes, primarily for beef production. Ranchers manage large areas of land, known as ranches, where they provide food, water, and shelter for the cattle. This industry plays a significant role in agriculture and contributes to the economy by supplying meat and other cattle products. In addition to beef, cattle ranching can also involve the production of dairy products, such as milk and cheese. Ranchers often use specific breeds of cattle, like Angus or Hereford, which are known for their desirable traits. Sustainable practices are increasingly important in cattle ranching to minimize environmental impact.
