 n.— «Traditional ranchers are finding themselves priced out of business, while a whole new cottage industry is emerging of managers who jokingly call themselves “ranch butler,” “ranch ambassador,” or simply “mouse trapper.” They are well-trained professionals responsible for the complex operations of a modern ranch, but also are required to keep it looking nice for when the owner comes to visit.» —“Wealthy Weekend ‘Amenity’ Ranchers Taking Over the West” in Corvallis, Oregon AScribe Oct. 25, 2006.
