Description:
We are looking for a ranch hand (to work with owner on site) of our 1,800 acre cattle and sheep ranch in Siskiyou County CA, to start immediately.



ABOUT US: we are husband and wife running a family ranch raising 200+ head of commercial black angus cattle and 300+ head of heritage breed navajo churro sheep as well as pigs, chickens and turkeys. We have four young daughters and live on the ranch full time. We raise beef, lamb, pork and eggs to sell conventionally and direct to our customers, as well as hay for our animals and some for market.



We work hard on the ranch everyday and as we like to say there is nothing above us and nothing below us – we are looking for someone with the same positive attitude to work hard, side by side with us. We bought this ranch two years ago and still have a lot of work to do to build or re-build the infrastructure for a solid working cattle ranch.



LOOKING FOR: A ranch hand knowledgable and proficient in working cattle. Experience with sheep and/or pigs a plus. Experience building and maintaining fences, running/maintaing equipment, managing pivots, wheel lines and irrigation as well. Things that are important to us are a solid work ethic, not cutting corners and getting the job done right the first time, but working efficiently to get the job done quickly and to be ready to take on the next task. We are organically minded and working towards certification and animal welfare standards are important to us.



PACKAGE OFFERED: Competitive salary, depending on experience.



HOUSING: We have onsite housing with an old 1868 homestead house next to owners house that we use as a bunkhouse for employee housing and also to accommodate ranch visitors. Our town, Fort Jones has a great school, restaurants, bar, hardware store, lumber yard and coffee shop among other amenities. Etna, another town 9 miles south has an award winning brewery, schools, restaurants and camps. We can also offer health insurance benefits.



The tasks and expected duties will include but not be limited to:



• Cattle operations management



• Monitoring range/herd condition



• Rotating, sorting, weighing and taking cattle to USDA butcher facility when appropriate



• Branding, tagging, and weaning



• Calving (including heifers)
