Was driving through horse country today and wondered why horses live on farms and not on ranches, like cattle and sheep.:shrug:

Probably the same reason people park on driveways and drive on parkways.

And while we are being curious... why do some things burn up and some things burn down?

Maybe it's a regional thing. In the East we tend to have farms. In the southwest the tendency may be more toward ranches. I also think thoroughbreds tend to come from farms and quarter horses come from ranches.

Hi Fellow Ohiogirl,

And if that steak is a really, really good one. Practically spoon-fed before....before....welllll....you know....sometimes we even know what name that steak used to answer to.

And if we are not connected to a side of beef that we knew when it was still out walking around, we sure know how to flirt with the butcher to get the absolutely best cuts.....or is that just me??? Ohhhhh, sometimes I just say too much......

My grandmother didn't have a ranch, but she had a farm and they ate their chickens, cows, and pigs. Didn't have any sheep and didn't eat the horses. I always had the conception that a farm was a small thing relatively and a ranch was a huge monstrosity.
