Maybe there should be a section on common ranching tools and implements? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.148.87.5 (talk) 20:06, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Abuse of hatnotes
The article currently begins with the hatnote "This article is about a type of land use and method of raising livestock. For information on people who handle cattle on ranches, see
- There's a longer history here. "Rancher" was merged into this article a long time ago (Maybe there is an argument to break it back out). However, no self-respecting rancher will call himself a "cowman" except in jest. The alternative terms include cattleman, cow-calf man, stockman (as you know) and stockgrower. Please leave things alone where you have no idea of the reality on the situation. Montanabw(talk) 02:06, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Images
Why is the image that is obviously not on a ranch keep getting added to this article, but the one that is a ranch gets removed? This isn't Cattle drive, the modern image has no place here. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:02, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- The other one isn't necessarily a ranch, either, if you note the material with the image at commons. But upon reflection, it is a better image, which is why I came around to your thinking on the matter and left it. Nonetheless, I must correct some of your misunderstandings...The image to me appears to be a roundup bringing cattle near what is probably a railhead on the outside of a town. (I live in Montana, we still have old stock corrals sort of like that along the railroad tracks in a lot of small towns.) A roundup actually does NOT necessarily begin on the ranch, it begins wherever the cattle are! --which in the old days was often the open range, which was public land--and in modern times it often STILL is public land, only now a Forest service or BLM lease. They are brought to a central gathering point, at which time they have been "rounded up", post-tense, i.e. gathered in from wherever they were scattered to. Then once rounded up, they are driven (i.e. as in a cattle drive) to wherever they need to go: maybe to market, maybe to the home ranch for winter, maybe to a railhead (in the old days, especially) or, in modern times, into trucks to go wherever.

What you can do
In Ranch's you can have a lot of fun. You can ride your horses, feed animals, invite friends over, etc. You can also have a huge party because usual ranch's have a huge house. 'Bold text' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.83.140.3 (talk) 16:11, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
