About the Position

The 1911 Land and Cattle Company is seeking a hardworking Ranch Operations Intern for a 3-month summer position offering hands-on experience in a regenerative-focused ranching operation. This role is designed for individuals pursuing Animal Science, Wildlife and Range Management, or other agricultural-related fields who want real-world exposure to cattle operations and land stewardship.

Most days will be spent in the field. You will be working in Texas summer conditions and gain practical exposure to livestock grazing operations, wildlife habitat management, and land stewardship.

The 1911 Land and Cattle Company operates on two core focus areas. The first is a pasture-to-plate beef production model that begins with a cow-calf operation and extends through yearling/stocker grazing, replacement heifer development, and the finishing of steers. This system is supported by strategic grazing management practices, including rotational grazing, designed to improve land health and livestock productivity.

The second focus is wildlife management, emphasizing both native and exotic species. This includes white-tailed deer, multiple exotic ungulates, waterfowl, and upland game birds, managed through a variety of techniques to support balanced and sustainable populations.

Responsibilities

  • Assist with daily ranch operations
  • Help with rotational grazing moves
  • Participate in wildlife surveys
  • Maintain fence lines and water gaps
  • Assist with vehicles and equipment maintenance
  • Observe cattle behavior and assist with basic operational data tracking
  • Fill deer feeders, run predator traps, and operate a hog trap
  • Assist with moist soil management for waterfowl habitat

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong work ethic and attention to detail
  • Positive attitude and willingness to learn
  • Initiative and ability to work as part of a team
  • Genuine interest in cattle and wildlife operations
  • Respect for the responsibility that comes with caring for land, livestock, and the people you work alongside

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience operating trucks, ATVs, or side-by-sides
  • Academic focus in Animal Science, Wildlife and Range Mgt, or related field
  • Valid driver’s license
  • Reliable transportation
  • Spanish language skills preferred

We value character over experience.

Physical & Work Requirements

  • Early morning start times
  • 8-hour workdays
  • Ability to lift 50+ lbs
  • Comfortable working outdoors in demanding summer conditions

Growth Opportunity

Interns who demonstrate maturity, humility, a strong work ethic, and leadership potential may be considered for future long-term roles within the operation.

  • Resume
  • Short paragraph explaining why you want to learn about ranching and land stewardship
