Hello, I'm a junior in high school (17 years old), I'm determined to achieve my goal of becoming a cattle rancher, its been in my mind for a while now and I think about it everyday. I know a little bit about cattle ranching through reading a lot of books and I know quite a bit about horses. I also volunteer at a horse farm because I love being around animals, and like getting myself dirty, I have a very good work ethic and I try my best in school. I plan on getting a job in the near future at a local cattle farm. I'm reading as much as I can and learning as I go by listening to other people and asking questions. I understand that ranching is a tough lifestyle (cattle come first) and its nothing like any job around my home. But I have the will to do it. Anyway I just want to ask if any ranchers could give me any suggestions or advice on what I should do now and in the future. I'm also looking into agricultural colleges and ranching internships for after high school.
Thanks
Yes I will give you some advice.......stay in school make straight A's that will get you recognition and on the honor roll and likely a scholarship, make dam sure you make the Deans List study Medicine or Political science, work harder than everyone else.
That Ranching lifestyle you yearn will then become much more attainable.
Good luck
Ps Or just do like I did Marry some fat girl that has a Ranch
