Detailed explanation-1: -Ranching is the act of running a huge farm, especially breeding cattle on a ranch, to raise them. Commonly, ranchers are involved in raising grazing animals such as sheep and cattle. In addition, some also raise bison, elk, emus, ostriches, and alpacas.
Detailed explanation-2: -Security: Security of the livestock and the herders. Ranching will curb cattle rustling. It will not be easy for rustlers to invade a ranch and it is easy for them in bushes and open fields. Capital: The major disadvantage of ranching is cost associated with establishing and running it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Water shortages – low rainfall and few rivers and streams meant there was not enough water for crops or livestock. Few building materials – there were not many trees on the Great Plains so there was little timber to use for building houses or fences. Many had to build houses out of earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -A ranch is a large farm on which animals are reared. Ranches are usually found in parts of the grasslands where rainfall is low and food crops do not grow very well. People raise animals such as cattle and sheep.
