ranchers  

Definition

  • Ranchers are commercial range livestock producers. In addition to a market-orientation, ranchers have exclusive, divided access to land (whether privately owned or leased); in contrast, pastoralists—who may be subsistence and/or market producers—share access to land and regulate use through mechanisms other than private property and contract.
