What does it mean to be a rancher?

9 years ago
Ive read a bit about living an independent live in Uruguay lately and it looks tempting. So i would like to know more.

If somebody wants to set up a cattle farm big enough to generate an income of about 80-100.000 $ a year what kind of investment we would talk about approximately? The
place needs to be far away from the next big city or any border lines, have an abundance of clean water and should be suitable for cattles with a little bit
of land suitable for farming.

When you are doing extensive cattle farming like it is done traditionally in Uruguay how labor intensive is it? Ive read somewhere that you just have to repair your
fences, sometimes shoot a cattle thieve and once a year you sell some animals to get money. It cant be that simple?
