Hello!

I am currently 20 years old and currently reside in Indiana I am in search of a general ranch hand/entry level cowboy position to work full time/year round, and am looking for something that has the possibility for future opportunities to own my own cattle one day and my own portion of land and make a good career out of ranching.

I spent the last 8 months of my life working in the diesel tech field so I am fairly mechanical inclined and am open to doing maintenance repairs on tractors or any other kinds of equipment.

I would describe myself as a very hard working individual, I’m definitely someone with a creative mind and a strong work ethic, I’m a very adaptable person and can do many different types of jobs throughout the year with the right training. I can work in all kinds of weather and have no problem with rough winters or freezing temperatures. I’m one who appreciates nature and sees the beauty in all of Gods creation, so I love being outdoors as much as I can and I love when I am able to work outdoors.

My last couple years of high school I took multiple agricultural classes and was involved in my schools FFA program, I definitely learned a lot of information on different types of animals during that time and how to make sure animals are healthy and in good condition and while at the moment I don’t have the skills to take care of animals if something is wrong, I do know the basic signs of when an animal is getting sick or unhealthy so I will be able to notify whoever if I have any concerns.

My goal out of this is to find myself a general ranch hand position but also be able to work with animals right away and work with cattle and learn how to herd. I have minor experience cleaning out barns and horse pens and know the basics of how to take care of horses but I want to further that skill working with horses and other animals.

Skills

  • Welding
  • Mechanics
  • Good with animals
  • Adaptable
  • Critical thinker
  • Learning agility
  • Can drive almost anything

Ideally what I’m looking for

  • General ranch hand position/ Entry level cowboy
  • Housing offered
  • Lots of opportunities for growth
  • Possibility to work towards a general cowboy position
  • Healthy work environment and a ranch that will give back just as much as I give in and will be grateful for my work

Even with all my skills and what I do know, I am by no means gonna be picky with whatever comes my way, I am more than willing to start at the very bottom and work my way up and prove myself, I am just looking for the right opportunity to get my foot in the door and make a career out of ranching.

I am available to move out anytime. I am looking for something preferably in the following states, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho.

Please only reach out if you own cattle and horses, thank you!
