Description:

About the operation :

We are a cow-calf operation located in Nevada. Our main ranch is situated in Hiko, with a second ranch located 90 miles north in Lund. The Lund Ranch consists of 720 acres of deeded pastures, a 75,000-acre, year-round BLM range, and a 16,000-acre forest permit. Together, we run 1,600 cow-calf pairs of Angus and Hereford cattle and breed and retain our own replacement heifers.

We are recruiting for an experienced ranch hand to help care for multiple herds of cattle operating as one unit of the ranch. These cattle are grazed on desert ranges that require some water hauls and considerable riding. Herd sizes range from 200 to 400 head, and at certain times of the year, you will care for around 1,000 cows.

We pride ourselves on our state-of-the-art facilities and management practices, achieving efficiency while still valuing "old-school" expertise. We breed our own commercial Black Baldy heifers from our purebred Black Angus cows and Hereford bulls sourced from some of the finest seedstock producers in the country. Our farming division produces high-quality hay and corn silage to support feeding calves in our own feedlot throughout the year. The ranch fosters a family-oriented working environment and is home to many long-term employees.

Job Duties:

  • This is an all-around ranch job requiring flexibility and teamwork during cattle working events. You will occasionally assist on other units of the ranch to help gather and process cattle.
  • Irrigation: Flood irrigating and operating pivots will be required occasionally as a backup when the full-time irrigator is unavailable.
  • Machinery Operation: Must be able to drive and operate a water truck with a 13-speed transmission, as well as a variety of equipment, including construction and farm machinery.
  • Equipment Maintenance: Perform light-duty repairs and routine maintenance on ranch equipment.
  • Fencing: Repair and construct strong, straight six-wire fences.
  • Cattle Work: Daily care of range and pasture cattle, including providing water, minerals, and moving cattle to fresh feed. Also, assist with working and processing cattle through the chute.
  • Horseback Work: A string of ranch-raised horses will be provided to the applicant for the purpose of moving cattle across various terrains, including range and forest environments. The candidate must demonstrate horsemanship skills by monitoring these horses and reporting any signs of injury or illness to our barn manager.
Requirements:

Compensation Package:

  • This is a full time, non-seasonal – long term position.
  • Competitive salary based on skills and experience.
  • Housing (brand new) and utilities paid for by employer (not including satellite TV).
  • Ranch Truck provided.
  • Half of Beef per year.
  • 100% Company paid medical, dental, vision for employee and their family.
  • 401K benefits offered with a 5% company match.
  • 12 paid vacation days per year.
  • 7 Paid Holidays.
  • Position reports to Division Manager.

Candidate Requirements:

  • Prior experience working as a ranch hand is required.
  • Be willing to work 6 days per week with Sundays off (other than feeding).
  • Punctual, dependable, process common sense, and treat co-workers, animals, and equipment with respect.
  • Willingness to work in an isolated area, 30 miles from basic services.
  • Must be physically fit to complete job duties and be able to work outdoors in all weather conditions.
  • Capable of self-management, working independently, but also effectively working with others.
  • Organized and able to help develop long-term goals.
  • Must be innovative in problem-solving and willing to “think outside the box."

Candidates must successfully complete:

  • Drug test (not just at application time, but also random tests due to driving responsibilities.)

  • Personality test administered by a third-party service.
  • Work references must be provided and will be checked.
