A ranch is a type of agriculture operation, primarily focused on raising cattle and other animals, that employs a variety of farm workers. Ranch jobs include ranch hands, managers, and specialists, such as vets and livestock scientists. On a recreational ranch, sometimes referred to as a dude ranch, there are several additional jobs in hospitality, such as front desk managers, tour guides, cooks, and ranch hands whose responsibilities are to oversee visitors as they spend part of their vacation working on the ranch.
