Etymology

The word 'rancher' originated in North America in the early 19th century, derived from the Spanish word 'rancho' meaning a small farm or group of buildings. Ranchers played a significant role in the expansion of the American West, managing vast stretches of land for grazing livestock. Today, ranchers continue to be key figures in agriculture, overseeing the production of meat and other livestock products.
