Managing Your Cowboys & Cattle

🐎 Saddle up, Ranchers the Wild West awaits!

In this first preview, we’ll dive into one of the core gameplay system – managing cowboys and cattle.

Managing your ranch in Ranchbound is all about giving the right orders to the right cowboys. Instead of controlling every move directly, you assign tasks - selecting which cowboys should handle specific jobs and how many animals they’ll take care of. From sending cattle to pasture to bringing them back to the pen, everything runs through smart, command-based management. Once you confirm the task, your cowboys get to work automatically, handling the job with their own skill and efficiency.
