The Ranch in Palworld is a useful structure to have since it is a great way to produce specific materials that you will need in the game.
As a structure that can easily be unlocked early in the game, you can start farming such items by having Pals work at them.
You may have noticed that some Pals have the Farming Work Skill, which means that they can work at a Ranch that has been built in your base.
How To Unlock and Build Ranch?
The Ranch may be unlocked at Level 5, which is quite early for players who have just started, and may be crafted with basic materials.
These include the following:
A Ranch does not take up that much space and would be more efficient if you had a storage container or Feed Box nearby depending on what materials drop.
How To Assign Pals to A Ranch?
When you assign a Pal to a base, it will automatically work at a Ranch when there are no other tasks available if it has the Farming Work Skill.
You may manually place Pals in the Ranch to keep them there, which will prevent them from working on other tasks. (This can also be done with a Monitoring Stand)
If there are Pals with the Transporting Work Skill in your base, they will move items that have been dropped into nearby storages. (Consumables go to Feed Box while materials to chests)

Verdict
Building a Ranch early on is a great way to get the materials that you need, especially when some of the Pals that drop resources can be obtained earlier.
It was recently in updates such as the Sakurajima Update that some Pals became popular for the Ranch since they drop useful materials, and an example would be Kelpsea for Pal Fluids.
Remembering which Pals can be assigned to a Ranch is a good way to help you get the materials that you need and even stock up for future crafting and building needs.
