Other worldviews offer alternative ways of thinking and being in relation to food animals.
•
Embracing complexities in our relationship with cattle could be a starting point for resolving common, and sometimes contentious paradoxes in our industry.
•
Heart-centered connections we have with food animals are somehow taboo and left out of our research, professional conversations, and communication with broader society.
•
Shifting our language around cattle to consider them “partners” could be transformative.
•
Our work may benefit from intentionality, humility, and acknowledgement of our symbiosis with cattle and the natural world.

•
Rangeland management research has historically focused on the ecological dimensions of these unique ecosystems, but the social dimensions of rangeland management have been understudied.
•
Considering rangelands as complex socio-ecological systems, we offer a framework to provide insights into how increased engagement of social science research can improve the management of contemporary rangeland ecosystems.
•
We posit the framework within shifting socio-demographic conditions experienced in contemporary rangeland systems, which include an increasing diversity in the socio-demographics of rangeland managers; an increasing number of younger ranchers inheriting or purchasing ranches from aging ranchers; and an increasing presence of exurban migrants moving from cities to rural areas.
•
Within this context, our framework centers its attention on contemporary rangeland managers and discusses their relationship with different relevant social institutions and natural resources while offering insights on how social science research can facilitate a better understanding and more up-to-date information concerning these relationships.

•
The King Ranch in Wyoming, established in 1911, has for generations been “Ranching on the Edge” and adapting to new challenges as they operate on the perimeter of Wyoming's largest city, Cheyenne.
•
Lessons learned from King Ranch are highlighted regarding decision-making approaches, management strategies, and partnerships used to manage complex and highly variable systems for multiple goals.
•
Challenges presented to the King Ranch were turned into opportunities—“make lemonade when lemons are presented”—through creative collaborations resulting in new economic opportunities providing an avenue to involve the next family generation, leveraging existing skill sets of personnel on the ranch and ranch assets, and embracing community-centric relations.
•
Management-science partnerships involving multiple local, state, and federal entities on contemporary issues foster bidirectional knowledge transfer and learning for both ranchers and scientists.
•怀俄明州的国王牧场(King Ranch)成立于1911年，几代人以来一直是“边缘牧场”(Ranching on The Edge)，并在怀俄明州最大城市夏延(Cheyenne)周边经营，以适应新的挑战。•从King Ranch吸取的经验教训强调了用于管理复杂和高度可变系统的多目标的决策方法、管理策略和伙伴关系。•King牧场面临的挑战变成了机遇——“有柠檬就做柠檬水”——通过创造性的合作，产生了新的经济机会，为下一代提供了一个参与的途径，利用牧场人员和牧场资产的现有技能，并拥抱以社区为中心的关系。•管理科学伙伴关系涉及多个地方，州和联邦实体在当代问题上促进双向知识转移和农场主和科学家的学习。
