How to Choose Ranches
--Types of Ranches--
Ranches are areas of land, including various structures, given primarily to the practice of ranching. Ranching, however, can take different forms. Some ranches specialize in raising grazing livestock such as cattle or sheep for meat or wool. Ranches are also sometimes used to raise less common livestock such as Elk (Wapiti), American Bison or even ostrich and emu. Ranches generally consist of large acreages, but may be of nearly any size. In the western United States, many ranches are a combination of privately owned land supplemented by grazing leases on land under the control of the federal Bureau of Land Management. If the ranch includes arable or irrigated land, the ranch may also engage in a limited amount of farming, raising crops for feeding the animals, such as hay and feed grains. Ranches that cater exclusively to tourists are called dude ranches. Most working ranches do not cater to guests, though they may allow private hunters or outfitters onto their property to hunt native wildlife. However, in recent years, a few struggling smaller operations have added some dude ranch features, such as horseback rides, cattle drives or guided hunting, in an attempt to bring in additional income.
--Today's ranches are very different from ranches of the past, utilizing modern agricultural technology, or providing unique western-styled vacation opportunities. Magicyellow.com can help you find the types of ranches that you are looking for.

Ranches are normally used to raise livestock. Most ranches specialize in raising only one kind of live stock. On cattle ranches cows are raised for their meat. On sheep ranches sheep are raised for their wool and their meat. On horse ranches horses are raised. Some ranches specialize in raising non-traditional livestock such as bison, elk and ostrich. Upon some ranches crops are grown but often these crops are only used as feed for the animals that are raised there. Ranches are mostly found in the rural parts of the western United States. Some ranches are no longer used for agricultural purposes. Some non-agricultural ranches have been turned into tourist destinations and “dude ranches” where ranch life is recreated for tourists.
