Meanwhile, back at the ranch ... is a phrase frequently used by narrators of American cowboy movies and TV shows as a segue from one scene to another. It originated as a stock subtitle in the silent movies of the early 1900s, but came into such common use that it took on a life of its own and is still with us today. For example, it's the title of a children's book by Trinka Hakes Noble (published 1992); the first album of the German country band Texas Lightning; and the root of the name of the English band Meanwhile, back in Communist Russia... (1999-2004). It is also the name of a song by Badfinger from the album "Wish You Were Here" (1974).
