It's all in the number of acres & where you live. Ranches are typically out west where they have thousands of acres of land-- and of course all the horses & cattle you could want to go on it! Ranchers usually plant very few acres of crops because a lot of them are in a hill area & planting crops on steep ground is not smart!
