For many outsiders, the word “ranching” conjures romantic images of riding on horseback through rolling grasslands while living and working against a backdrop of breathtaking mountain vistas.

The Ornothology of Ulisse Aldrovandi (1600) Volume II Book XIV
by Ulisse Aldrovandi
Edited and translated by L. R. Lind
Aldrovandi on Chickens, written in 1598, is the first English translation of any work by the Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi. It exemplifies the spirit and the letter of Renaissance science—the former, in the extensive classical references; the latter, through careful examination of every process involved with the raising or use of chickens.
