JDM Ranch Operations
A small operating ranch in Tioga, Texas is looking for a full-time ranch hand. This job will also involve other types of maintenance work. Horse and cow handling experience is preferred but this is generally not a “cowboy” type position.
Part-time work may also be available, so this is a good position for someone in a high school work program or who wants to work after school and/or on the weekends or someone who is retired and looking for some odd jobs.
Ranch responsibilities include:
- Maintaining the welfare of herd and horses, ie, feeding, putting out bales, moving and lifting square bales, checking on cattle daily, etc.
- Operating farm equipment, fencing repair, welding etc.
- Daily cleaning and maintaining stalls.
- Ability to do handy work like carpentry, electrical, welding, and plumbing.
- Rounding up and moving cattle and taking animals to the vet when needed.
- Must be able to do heavy lifting of hay, feed bags, and equipment.
This is a job that requires heavy labor in the Texas heat, rainstorms and freezing temperatures, so please be aware of that when applying for this job. You will be able to start early in the morning during the summer so you are finished by the early afternoon.
This is not just a ranching job, it also includes the following maintenance responsibilities:
- General maintenance and labor such as mowing/trimming/landscaping lawn and garden, minor pool care, and taking care of trash and taking trash to the dump as needed.
- Cleaning out buildings, helping with car/tractor maintenance, and cleaning around the outside area.
- Washing cars and trucks as needed.
The applicant must have a steady work history of holding jobs for a period of time longer than one year and preferably two years. We will be contacting your former employers so please be aware of that when you apply for this position.
Authorization to work in the US required and must speak fluent English. Applicant will undergo a background check, including both a criminal and a driving background check. We will also request confirmation of prior employment and require professional references – in other words, former supervisors and co-workers.
