Perspective Links Rancher Ranchers will tell you it is not about making money, it is about the lifestyle. Rural communities have long standing traditions and values that are assoicated with the landscapes that they are connected too. In many cases, ranching families have passed the same piece of ground to their children for up to 5 generations, so they usually take the long view when it comes to planning their ranch operation. Livestock producers often proclaim themselves as the true environmentists, because they rely on a healthy landscape for survival. The opportunity costs from alternate uses of the land are often sacraficed in order to preserve a higher quality of life for themselves and their children. |
