We are looking for the next perfect team member to add to our high performing family of collaborators and staff. The FBBR Ranch Hand's role is to help with the day to day aspects of the cattle operation, help oversee interns and perform general ranch duties.

Overview:

There are three main components to this operation:

  • Ranching: Depending on the time of year, we intensively graze between 800-900 animal units Our cows are medium frame Angus genetics that we breed to Wagyu bulls. During the growing season, animals are shipped to two different mountain leases within the state. Weaned calves are finished on the ranch and slaughtered between 24-30 months of age.
  • Farming: We farm 3,800 acres on a 2-year rotation. We are experimenting with grazing dry land cover crops. The rest of our farming is haying forage crops for winter feed, using mostly brand-new John Deere equipment.
  • Retail: We market our beef directly to consumers and have a weekly slaughter schedule. Customers can pick up their orders at the ranch or have it shipped to their front door via our website. We build our own insulated boxes and store packaged meat at the ranch in a large walk-in freezer.

Our perfect candidate:

  • Loves the ranch lifestyle.
