Do you own a ranch?

[Boarmaster]

I don't particular care about what anyone calls their place. Thats your business. But I refer to a ranch as a large property where livestock is bred, raised and grazed As a primary focus. Versus a farm where crops would be grown as well as some livestock raised or a dairy operated.

Real ranchers get the elk to use the corral.

I have a video that I can't upload of over 200 head on my measly 5 acres. They really can mess up some landscaping when the spend the night. mtmuley

You're over objective pilgrim.

I remember once getting a letter from a customer thanking me for raising only grass fed beef with no hormones and how she could tell the difference in that from grain fed. No idea where she got that. I implanted all of them and they were on full grain.

I used to get people that called that wanted “organic grass fed beef”. I started telling them to buy a deer tag.

Wait, are you implying that my 3 acres is laugh worthy? I'll let you know I get up 15 minutes early to move sprinklers, my tractor is always broken, and I have a "scrap" piles of wood, good wood, metal, sheet metal, and miscellaneous. And it never turns a profit. I'd say that checks all the boxes...

You clearly own a small scale ranch.

You’re both doing it wrong. Get them in the lot to fatten them up.

That should make you eligible for a land owner preference tag. I can think of " ranchers" who get the tag and never see an elk on their property.

B tags are OTC. I've filled a couple. mtmuley

No, I’m not a rancher. I have a house on .13 acres in a residential neighborhood and I have a strawberry patch in my backyard that sometimes produces a few berries….so that’d make me farmer, not a rancher.

If there ain't elk on it, it ain't a ranch. mtmuley

I never considered our place a ranch. I guess I'll have to change the category to ranch. Thanks for the clarification.

You can call it a "ranch" if you file a schedule F on your taxes

We have a house on 2.1 acres. Have a small garden and my wife wants to get a miniature donkey. I could certainly be close to having a farm/ranch operation!

I wouldn't begrudge you calling it a homestead.

I just bought 10 acres in montana officially last week signed for it . I do not consider it a ranch . It’s 10 acres of sage and pine trees but right along a county road and high and dry and next to blm and next to the ranch I hunt on

And I paid way too f’n much for it . Lol . But it felt like “it” to me and I wanted it . There’s power and there’s water close . So it’s a decent spot to move in a cabin

Just remember, a pony ride featured at the circus does not make it a ranch.
