Although there is a large number of livestock herding here, it is very different from traditional nomadic herding. The livestock on the ranch is not the private property of the herdsman, but a commodity that the herdsman manages for sale. Herders do not have families and dependents, but are hired by the shepherd without a family of individual laborers, generally called cowboys or shepherd boys. Livestock husbandry in large pastures has the characteristics of large scale production and high degree of specialization.

America
In the United States, cattle graze on large ranches. Early grazing on government land. Later, as better land was sold by the government to farmers to grow crops, ranches were moved west, reduced in size, and allowed to graze after paying the government rent. Originally put is longhorn cattle, this cattle is resistant to rough feeding, and after long distance drive does not lose fat, but its disadvantage is easy to grow cattle ticks, poor meat quality. Later, it changed to raise European Hayford beef cattle, which required relatively high feeding conditions such as feed, so it changed the earlier extensive grazing. Some ranches no longer send cattle to slaughter after fattening, but sell them to farms after growing to a certain extent.
