Curious of your thoughts on the term "Ranch".

[Fishndude]

Who cares?

Those midwesterners are gonna be ****** at yall calling their farms, ranches..

Yep!!! My buddy in South Dakota has about 4500ac and leases some more. He runs 600+ momma cows and farms corn, Milo and beans. His most important crop is pheasants. He calls his place the farm.

Most folks up here just call it "my ground".....It might be 2000 acres of tillable soil or it my be 5 acres of "crick bottom" it's still just called "my ground" or "your ground".

If you don’t own any land over 10 acres I don’t think you should be allowed to ask the question.

IMO...greater than 1,000 acres is a ranch. Anything less is a farm.

It's just like the term Cowboy.....

lot's of folks say they are cowboys or they cowboy for a living. There aren't really very many if at all any REAL cowboys left in this world by my definition of the cowboy's of the late 1800's early 1900's.

I own 8 horses, cattle, sheep, own property and work our family's large several dozen section ranch, but I no way in any shape, form or fashion would every call my self a cowboy.

At the end of the day, GREEN JACKET, GOLD JACKET WHO GIVES A.....

if it's your place, your blood and sweat equity, money etc...call it whatever you're proud to call it.

We have seen this discussion many, many times on TBH through the years. The general consensus is there are two types of folks.... Folks that care what somebody else calls a place those folks spent their hard earned money on and folks that don't give a **** about somebody else's business.

Well if you're not ranching any livestock I'd just call it a piece of land. If i had a pond and removed the water, wouldn't be a pond anymore, it'd just be a low spot lol. Not sure why people are getting butt hurt on this lol. I call it as it functions. IMO a ranch has livestock but to each their own, which is plenty acceptable as well. I say call it whatever makes you happy. But when you hear me calling a Ford Ranger a Monster truck, don't question it...

Webster Definition of ranch (Entry 1 of 2)
1: a large farm for raising horses, beef cattle, or sheep

Ok - fair enough. Cows are gone so it “was” a ranch. How big of a food plot must I plant to be able to call it a farm now? Lol

[SmTx]

I don't do any ranching. It's leased out for cows.

Therefore: I'm a land baron

[CaptainDave]

Don't really care either way. Seems where I grew up in SE TX, many large tracks were just referred to as farms. Considering much of it was rice farming country back in the day, I guess that made some sense.

With that said, I've seen plenty of people buy 10-15 acres and a 30 HP tractor and try to claim ag exemption on just about anything they could. I've never considered any of those places farms or ranches and those folks sure the heck weren't trying to make a living off the land.

[doghouse]

I'm a farmer/rancher. Made my living the last 47 years raising cattle, sheep, and goats. Also plant wheat and oats for them. Call your place what ever you want. It doesn't bother me one bit whether it's 5 acres are 10 thousand.

[BlackoutRam2500]

Personally I could care less what people call the land they are paying for. We have 2.5 acres and call it "the property". My FIL has 30 acres and he also refers to his a "my property"

We've talked about getting a ranch. Something to hand down to our kids and for me that has to be a minimum of 100 acres.

As far as I'm concerned, you paid for it. Call it what you want to call it.
