ranched

I know a lot about horses, and he's ranched some before—this English duck.

After he had finished his first season of work as sheriff and as United States marshal, Garrett ranched it for a time.

He had ranched in Canada, and had also done something vague of the outdoor kind in Texas.

If these weren't modern days he'd come near bein' a gun-man, same as we had in Texas, when I ranched there in the 'seventies.

For a time he "ranched" without success, and was heard of as a frequenter of saloons.
