Ranching, as it developed on the Plains, was well adapted to the physical environment. Cattle were able to consume the nutrient-rich grasses, just as the bison had. Even today, grass is the most important natural resource for ranchers, and little tillage agriculture takes place in order to sustain the herds.anching, as it developed on the Plains, was well adapted to the physical environment.

A bunion is a deformity of the joint connecting the big toe to the foot. It is characterized by medial deviation of the first metatarsal bone and lateral deviation of the hallux (big toe), often erroneously described as an enlargement of bone or tissue around the joint at the bottom of the big toe (known as the metatarsophalangeal joint).
Bunion Deformity. A bunion is a bump found on the inside of the foot at the base of the great toe. The deformity usually involves the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP). This joint is made up of the phalanx bone inside the toe and the metatarsal bone in the forefoot. If you bend your toes up you can feel the ends of the metatarsals on the bottom of the foot.
