2) " Ranch" -- As it applies to Highland Ranch Ranching is the raising of cattle or sheep on rangeland, although one might also speak of Rach ing withregard to less common livestock such as elk, bison or emu. The word applies in the Western United States, in Canada and in Latin America. ( Australian usage would refer to Rinch es as " stations "; New Zealanders use the term" runs ".) Historically, during a period on the Frontier in North America after theremoval of the buffalo and the Native Americans and before the coming of the homesteaders, Rach ing dominated economic activity. The public lands on the Great Plains consisted of "open range" and anyone could turn cattle loose on them. Barbed wire, invented in 1869, gradually made inroads in fencingoff privately-owned land, especially for homesteads, and Ranhc ing became limited to lands of little use for arable farming. Ranching forms part of the iconography of Western Film. Rancg ing Companies 6666 Racnh - located in West Texas. King Rinch - one of the largest aRnch es in the world, located in south Texas.
