Righter---when you are older and busted up and unable to find "cowboy" work because you hold yourself above farming and your resume looks like hell and you have nothing to show for your years of efforts, you will be rethinking your views...guaranteed!!!!! for your info, cowboyup advertised for his ranchhand positions and STATED in the postings that it was not a strictly "cowboy" position!! He stated that the person needed irrigation/haying/calving/mechanic/fencing experience!! What amazed me was how many replies he got from folks like you who thought that "riding the range"was the only thing they would be doing!! Most ranches DO specify that "ranch hand" work now encompasses more than working cattle!! What also amazed me was the number of resumes he received that were laughable.....many of these "cowboys" did not have a job in the past that they had held down for more than a few months at a time!! The hand we have now had his last job for 3 years....he now has a really nice 3 bedroom HOUSE (not a trailor like our first place), paid utilities, days off whenever he needs, a ranch truck and makes a good wage (especially for this area when the average wage for a ranch hand would raise your hackles)!!! Cowboyup treats his help VERY well.....the last hand even had food and furniture given to him by my family because they had none!!! I am a NURSE and i see ranch hands who make more than me, have better benefits, less education, more time off and drive nicer vehicles than either cowboyup or I do!!!  Whewwwww....better now that I got that off my chest!!


What animal is usually the product of a ranch?
