    Becoming a ranch hand

    It depends on your finances. Internships typically do not pay well. You would do very well looking at the ranch jobs offered out west, and jump in with both boots on. This world moves very fast these days. Get experience and along the way get your education if you still want to do that. The...

    Becoming a ranch hand

    Believe it or not, NY state is not all NY city. There is a whole LOT of farm land still in use.

    Becoming a ranch hand

    I can offer you some work at my place- I have sheep, and have a lot of fence work and other livestock related work to do. If you want to learn how to fence, proper care of sheep, and handling, let me know. I am in Rhinebeck NY, and would be happy to have a motivated person who wants a future...

    I am so sorry. Must be tough, very tough and I guess you have to do what your heart tells you to. Stay strong, have faith.

    he's a hero :)

    I suppose I should have added more here... This is at a Rodeo in one of the Dakotas. One of the Rodeo bulls got loose, and a lone cowboy on a grey horse went out into the fair to get him and in a little bit, here you see the cowboy who had lassoed the bull, bring him back into the Rodeo arena...

    only one lamb ate

    The rhetoric out there, making Wolves seem so dog-like and cuddly and they "only rarely kill livestock" has been pushed hard. Also, this business of only killing to eat is balderdash too. This needs to be publicized vehemently. Friend of mine just lost some sheep to Coyotes, but at least...

    I'm still amazed

    Back in the 70s my hay memories did not include horses (which, w/ my love of horses would have been the bees knees), but it did include my grandmother in her house coat on an old tractor, my brother/his friend in the hay loft and my grand father slinging square bales onto the wagon, while my...

    Tears fall

    Update: I called some of the respondents and a few seemed good. One has experience on a sheep farm (that's what we have), and turns out he used to work next door. He's 22. The other has a new job with DEP that pays so low he just wants something for extra money, and is a self starter and...

    Tears fall

    Thanks Leanin H, I can barely afford to keep me afloat, so this is work I can't do myself, and have to hire out, and I do the best I can. I have had 30 responses to the ad, and hopefully someone works out. Last guy I had do tree work ended up working all summer for me, and I ended up paying...

    Tears fall

    That's just it, I stated the pay per hour. This is not a full time job. The point is, I can't believe how many are interested. I was planning to go with the older guy(s) as I believe their experience is worth it.

    Tears fall

    I can sometimes be a bit of a wimp, but... I recently put an ad for farm help (fence work, barn clean up tree work, you name it) pay $10.00 an hour and weekend work required. I got some responses that were a bit well, we won't go there, but I got several from 50+ year old men...

    Our Dream

    This sort of thing is becoming very popular. No offense to Ms Stubbs, but I cannot understand how people can ask for money to finance a dream? I know it's old fashioned to work for your money but.... One of the tenets of being a farmer/rancher, is doing it yourself. No help asked none got...
