ranchers
Owners of herds
Ranchers are people who own or operate ranches—large farms devoted to raising livestock, especially cattle or sheep.
The term is most common in the American West and similar regions where extensive grazing land supports large-scale animal husbandry: The ranchers worried about drought conditions affecting their herds.
