Word origin

The term 'rancher' originated in the United States in the early 19th century, derived from the Spanish word 'rancho' which refers to a small farm or group of buildings used for agricultural purposes. Ranching became a prominent way of life in the American West, with large ranches covering vast expanses of land for raising livestock such as cattle, sheep, and horses.
