cattle ranchers
Livestock business owners
Cattle ranchers are people who raise cattle on large tracts of land, typically in regions suited to grazing.
The term evokes the American West, where ranching became central to regional identity and economy: Cattle ranchers lobbied against new grazing restrictions.
Ranchers may raise cattle for beef, dairy, or breeding stock.
