Cattle farms, commonly referred to as ranches or livestock farms, are agricultural establishments that primarily engage in the rearing and breeding of cattle. Other popular synonyms for cattle farms are beef farms, cow farms, and dairy farms. Some farmers raise livestock for the production of beef, while others specialize in dairy production. Cattle farms are also classified by their size and type of operation, such as feedlots, pasture-based farming, and intensive indoor farming. No matter the type of cattle farm, they all play a crucial role in providing meat, milk, and other dairy products for human consumption.
