Description:
Hi, my name is Joel. I am looking for a full time, long term, ranch hand job. I am not a master of any one thing, I’m a really hard worker, I’m dependable, honest, loyal, and I’m always trying to learn new things to be a better and more valuable ranch hand. I live in Central Oregon, but I don’t have a problem relocating out of state, or living out in the middle of nowhere. All of my current jobs are part time. So I really want to find one full time job, where I could stay for a while, maybe put down some roots. I don’t like to hop around from job to job. I also have some money saved up to travel for an interview.



I have irrigation experience (flood, wheel line, and hand line). I can drive and operate tractors and skid steers. I can fix and repair fences. I can ride a horse, identify health issues, muck, feed, etc. I can feed cattle, identify health concerns, help at brandings, help during calving time. I have some mechanical knowledge and I know some basic welding. I can run chain saws, lawn mowers, weed whips, ATVs, UTVs, etc.



My least strongest skills would probably have to be carpentry. But I can use a hammer, tape measure, most power tools, and most stuff that has to do with fencing. I also don’t have that much experience with mechanics (which is why I’m taking classes at the college). But I’m pretty handy with and enjoy working on small engines and I’ve been fixing a lot of them on the side for some extra cash / experience. I also don’t have any formal training in welding. It’s just I have been learning on my own, and I’d like to get better. Same goes for haying. I understand the process, I can operate a tractor, buck and stack bales, but I don’t have experience. I also haven’t had the opportunity to work cattle on horseback (all my ranch jobs we use ATVs or I move the cattle on foot). I’m a good rider, not an expert, but not a novice. I also spent over a year in an intensive equine internship working with high-risk rescued horses and gentling mustangs. And I’m comfortable with ground work leading up to starting under saddle.



I’m probably not the most experienced person out there. But I can learn and do just about anything once I’m shown. So, I hope you’ll take that into consideration with my above weaknesses.



I’d really like to find a job where I could still work with cattle and horses, as these are both things I’ve been investing all my extra money and free time into, and I enjoy them. I’m not a cowboy, just a worker bee ranch hand, and hard work makes me happy. If you’ve been looking for a ranch hand for a while, see all my skills, even the ones I’m lacking in, and wouldn’t mind giving some direction to get an employee you can trust and who’d stick around for a while, give me a try. I can send you my references and resume if you ask. Sometimes I’m driving between jobs, or a tractor, or 4 wheeler, or riding, so just leave a message if I don’t answer. (I’f I find a job I’ll take this down, so if its still up I’m still looking)



Thanks for taking the time to read this and consider me!



- Joel
