Hi, I'm a young city guy taking on a job with a working ranch this summer starting in April. Most of the work involved will be breaking in young horses (did this for the first time last year) and herding ~1,000 head of cattle, plus the less routine day to day tasks - fixing fence, etc. I've only done this in one to two week periods of time in the past, then last summer for two months, so I still consider myself relatively new to the experience. Thought I'd ask for any advice while I can before I leave, which I know is a very general question.
Maybe you can share your first-time experiences, similar situations, or lessons learned while you were learning the ropes, even if you were a kid.
