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.

Each cowboy comes with a unique set of skills.

The size of the herd depends on the cowboys’ Herding skill and how many of them take part in the task.

Each task can be assigned to multiple cowboys for better efficiency.

Once you’ve selected your cowboys and the herd, just choose the destination and hit Confirm. The cowboys will mount up and get the job done, moving your cattle across the plains and working hard to grow your fortune while you focus on the bigger picture of managing your ranch.
