I get where you're coming from mate, but to get one up on your friends with Australian knowledge....
Ranches are called 'stations' out here, if they raise cattle then they're ,Cattle Stations, if they raise sheep they're Sheep Stations etc...
Ranch Hands as you call them are called Jackareoo's here because they are generally male thus the 'jack', they often move around from one station to another,or bounce as we call it, thus the 'aroo' as in Kangaroo.
The owners of stations are called Station Master's...
Dotn forget, I'm not criticising you, just giving you info to astound your friends/family.
