Description:
The Simplot Company is looking for experienced Pen Riders to join our team at the Grand View feedlot, located about 60 miles Southeast of Boise.



Our Grand View operation spans 750 acres and runs approximately 110,000 head of cattle, the majority cross-bred beef. The feedlot sits against natural rimrock, with dry conditions, low humidity, and moderate temperatures year round, about 6.6 inches of annual rainfall and an average temperature near 67 degrees. Simply put: it’s good country for cattle and good country to ride.



The Job

Pen Riders at Grand View are the first line of defense for cattle health and well being. This is a full time, all day riding job. If being horseback is where you’re most comfortable, you’ll fit right in.



Daily work includes:

• Riding pens and checking cattle health

• Head counts and identifying sick or stressed cattle

• Moving cattle to and from hospital pens

• Assisting with unloading, processing, and pen moves

• Working closely with the feedlot team using low stress cattle handling practices



Each cowboy typically looks after 5,000–15,000 head, depending on the time of year, across roughly 600 pens. You’ll be riding alongside a team of about 15 cowboys, all focused on doing things the right way, for the cattle and for each other.



Horses & Gear

• Some company horses are available, but bringing your own horse is preferred

• You must provide your own saddle and tack

• Simplot feeds up to six working horses

• Shoeing is covered by Simplot



Schedule & Lifestyle

• Full time position

• Start times vary with daylight (early mornings during certain seasons)

• Strong PTO policy that grows the longer you’re here

• Good weather, wide open spaces, and a supportive team

• Possible company housing (availability required prior to hire)



Benefits

We offer competitive pay and a full benefits package, including:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) with company match

• Great PTO

• Long term growth opportunities within the feedlot and across Simplot’s broader livestock and agriculture operations



This is a place where hard work is respected, experience matters, and there’s room to grow if you want it.



What We’re Looking For

• Solid horsemanship skills

• Experience working cattle (feedlot, stocker, or cow calf)

• Comfortable being in the saddle most of the day

• Ability to work independently and as part of a crew

• Must provide own saddle and tack



Interested?

To apply, submit your application through our website and the team will get back to you as quickly as possible.
