Continued with chapter in Animal Farm (5)

I believe the answer is:

ranch

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'animal farm' is the definition.
'ranch' can be an answer for 'farm' (ranch is a kind of farm). I'm not certain of the 'animal' bit.

'continued with chapter' is the wordplay.
'continued' becomes 'ran' (running is a kind of continuing).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'chapter' becomes 'ch'.
'ran'+'ch'='RANCH'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ranch that I've seen before include "Agricultural business" , "Cattle estate" , "Large farm rearing particular livestock" , "Hacienda" , "A large cattle-breeding farm" .)
