A rancher is the owner of a ranch, a spread of land where animals are raised. In The Western, usually this is cattle, but sheep, chicken and (in the modern day) ostriches are all potential ranches. The Rancher employs the Cowboy, Camp Cook and other ranch workers. He (or sometimes she) is the equivalent of a business owner in a more urban setting. They generally will dress a little better than their employees, but not too much—most ranchers are hands-on to some degree, and need to be able to do anything an ordinary cowboy could. Indeed, many a cowboy has the ambition of gaining a ranch of his very own. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In fiction, the larger the ranch is, the more likely the rancher is to be the bad guy of the story. This is not a hard and fast rule (the Cartwrights of Bonanza have an immense spread, but are salt of the earth types), but that's the way to bet. If the rancher owns several ranches, or one big enough to count as its own feudal country, they become a Cattle Baron. "Saving the ranch" is a common plotline for Westerns, especially in B-movies, as a couple of bad years could put a small rancher on the verge of bankruptcy. |

The plaas where sisters Johanna and Mariella Smith-Rhodes were brought up in the Discworld of A.A. Pessimal is pretty much a ranch: quite a few square miles of Rimwards Howondaland belonging to their father, Barbarossa Smith-Rhodes. It sets the scene for how two Boer girls had the strength and aptitude to become career Assassins. And how a sort of "South African" came to add to the interesting and volatile ethnic mix in Ankh-Morpork. | |

In Coroner Creek, Della Harms is a widow who is determined that will not be driven off the ranch her husband left her by her neighbour Younger Miles. Although she gives the impression of being The Ditz, she is actually much tougher and wilier than most people give her credit for. | |

Wonder Woman Vol 1: Etta's parents Hard and Sugar Candy are ranchers in Texas. Most of their ranch hands are originally from Mexico and Hard is always dressed much nicer—though still in western duds with a cowboy hat—than his workers. They also have a couple of oil wells on the property and the ranch borders an oil field. | |

The Sci-Fi novel Malevil has an interesting example. Before World War III, the main character is a rural French rancher who expands his property to include an old castle. He keeps the usual livestock and grazing land but also stables some his animals in a cave under the keep. He also runs a vineyard, produces wine, and had plans to reopen the castle to tourists. | |
