Description:
Wilson Ranches – Eastern Oregon High Desert

Wilson Ranches is seeking a dependable and motivated individual to join our 8th-generation family-owned and operated cattle ranch in Eastern Oregon. We are a working cow/calf operation looking for someone who values low-stress stockmanship, loves being horseback, hardwork, responsibility, the Western way of life, and who brings a good attitude (and a sense of humor) to the crew.

Responsibilities Include:

Daily care and management of cow/calf pairs

Livestock movement and handling by horseback

Assisting during winter and spring calving

Gathering, sorting, branding, and shipping cattle

Irrigation setup, daily rotations, and maintenance for hand line and wheel line

Fence building and repair

Equipment operation (tractors, pickups, trailers)

Basic mechanical work and maintenance on ranch equipment

General ranch upkeep and seasonal projects

Assisting with the bed and breakfast: cooking, hosting, and room turnover

Wrangler for guest trail rides and cattle drives with all skill levels of guests

Qualifications:

Experience with cattle preferred

Advanced horseback rider

Irrigation and fencing experience is strongly valued

Experience operating farm equipment preferred (or willingness to learn)

Mechanical ability is a plus

Haying experience is a plus

Strong work ethic “pitch in wherever needed” attitude

Willingness to work long hours during busy seasons

Self-starter who can work independently without constant supervision

Team player with a positive attitude and a good sense of humor

We can accommodate one working ranch horse. No studs or colts. However, the ranch provides horses to ensure you can complete your work effectively.

Valid driver’s license required

Wilson Ranches is absolutely a smoke-free and drug-free property. No smoking, no vaping, no e-cigarettes, and no marijuana permitted.

No indoor pets permitted

No family housing available

What We’re Looking For

Our operation is in Oregon’s high desert, and we are looking for someone who is comfortable with the western ranch lifestyle and content living 70 miles from the nearest fast-food restaurant. This is real ranch work: early mornings, long days, changing weather, and busy seasons. We need someone dependable, capable, and proactive. The right person takes initiative, recognizes what needs to be done, and gets after it — all while being a team player others enjoy working alongside.

To apply, please send a short introduction, resume, and three references to wilsonranchesle@gmail.com
