The plural of ranch is ranches.
A ranch is a large farm or agricultural property, typically used for raising livestock or cultivating crops. It is characterized by extensive land, buildings, and facilities for various farming activities. Ranches are commonly associated with cattle ranching, where cattle are raised for meat production. However, ranches can also specialize in other livestock such as horses, sheep, or goats. They often have dedicated areas for grazing, corrals, barns, and other structures. Ranching is a significant industry in many regions, particularly in rural areas of the United States.
