00 The article chose the word rancher instead of farmer which I would have used. Is rancher a journalistic word? 02 br

00 By the way, do you call Bush a rancher just because he owns a ranch in Texas. Thanks! 0-

0 While a farm has some animals such as horses, pigs and chickens, it's main function is to raise crops such as corn, wheat, beets and other vegetables. A ranch is a place that raises specific animals, which could include cattle and sheep. 0-

Normally us "ranchers" call ourselves this due to the fact that we raise animals or "livestock" as a main profit. My dad has several hundred acres almost as much as our large cattle ranch but since he grows hay for a profit he is called a "farmer" due to his main income being from something that is a crop and not livestock. You can have 20 acres and still call it a ranch if livestock is all you ha

In the UK, we have only farms and farmers. British farmers raise livestock and/or grow crops.
