Description:
Ranch Hand

Full Time · Saco, Montana · Housing Provided

Overview



A large, well established commercial cow calf operation near Saco, Montana is seeking an experienced Ranch Hand to join a longtime, tightly knit crew. This operation runs approximately 3,000 mother cows across roughly 120,000 acres of big, rugged country and farms around 5,000 acres of feed ground, growing corn, triticale, peas, barley, and alfalfa to support the cow herd. The right candidate should be ready for a full, hands on year of cattle and farm work in wide open country.



What Sets This Opportunity Apart

A stable, long tenured crew, with two hands who have been on the place since 2001

Quality housing including a spacious six bedroom home, with all electricity, gas, propane, and heat paid by the ranch

A strong benefits package including health insurance, a retirement plan with a company match, and a beef allowance for the household

Newer, well maintained equipment, mainly John Deere, with a full time and a part time mechanic on staff so this role is not carrying heavy mechanical responsibility

Horses fed and cared for at no cost, geldings only

A genuinely family friendly culture where kids are welcome to be involved in branding, haying, and other ranch work

A quiet, steady, hard working crew culture built around dependability and getting the job done



Responsibilities

Feed cattle out on range through the winter months using a mixer truck and a tractor pulled mixer wagon, following a nutritionist formulated ration

Assist through calving season, which runs from early April to mid June, including moving pairs and doctoring as needed

Build and maintain fence using a side by side or four wheeler, an ongoing priority given the size of the operation

Rope and drag calves during branding season, which runs from roughly mid May through early July

Support haying and swathing, and drive truck or tractor during silage and corn chopping

Move cattle from pasture to pasture across large, remote pastures using horses or four wheelers

Doctor cattle from horseback or with a dart gun as needed

Handle general ranch upkeep including corral building, water line repairs, hauling salt and mineral, and equipment washing

Participate in the ranch’s busiest stretch of the year each fall, including weaning, shipping, pregnancy checking, and moving cattle in and out of the feedlot

Haul cattle locally using trucks, pickups, and trailers

Handle day to day tasks as they arise on a working ranch of this scale, including general repairs and equipment care

Work safely and efficiently across very large, remote pastures, some more than five thousand acres and ten miles from the nearest trail



Qualifications

Prior ranch or farm experience, ideally with commercial cow calf cattle

Comfortable and competent on horseback

Comfortable moving cattle using four wheelers and side by sides

Solid fencing skills and willingness to take real ownership of fence quality

Comfortable driving a semi is a plus

Basic mechanical aptitude is helpful, though not essential given dedicated mechanics on staff

A dependable, low drama, hard working personality that fits a quiet, close knit crew

Willingness to live and work in a very remote setting, roughly twenty miles from the nearest small town

Long term intent. This ranch is looking for someone who wants to put down roots, not a short term stop



Compensation and Benefits

Starting pay around $36,000 per year

Housing provided at no cost in a spacious six bedroom home

Electricity, gas, propane, and heat fully paid by the ranch

Health insurance

Retirement plan with a company match of up to three percent

Annual beef allowance, a full beef for a family or a half beef for a single hand

Free board, feed, and care for up to three horses, geldings only

Bonus opportunities available

A use vehicle provided for ranch related work
