We are a family ran business and want someone who wants to be a part of our operation long term. We currently have several older upper management employees. We are looking for someone to learn and be respectful who could potentially fill the upper management rolls over time. This will require the ability to listen and learn. Job will require a self-motivated, self-starting personality. During peak seasons will require 7 days a week but we try to give workers days off if needed during slower seasons. This is for the person who wants to stay busy. With the changing of seasons, you will continue to get to do different jobs which keeps it interesting. We run in everything from prairies, deserts and mountains. Lots of neat country to see for the person with a love to explore and see new things. Skills/Jobs that will be required - Riding, roping, doctoring, pairing, willingness to do work on green horses, calving, fencing, corral building, feeding horses/cattle, operate equipment, work on water wells, general repairs, corral cleaning, stall cleaning, drive between 6 different ranch properties which are up to 3 hours apart. - For more information click on the following link - LINK ]

Yellowstone made that look really glamorous but you are gonna work your arse off in reality.

Nothing wrong with it, it’s just truly not as easy and glamorous as most people think.

I would have enjoyed that in my 20s

If you were looking for something completely different and to get away from your current life, it would be enticing.. But if you are a young buck.. In your 20s.. Even early 30s and single. The access to females would be important. You don't want to be around a bunch of hard legs all day every day. At the minimum a bar or two not that far away you can go to to chase skirts.

Would be a cool place to work and live, but you can't be scared of isolation.

I’d love to leave corporate America forever and get a low stress job. Maybe bartend at a nice resort in the Bahamas or something. I bet milkmen had it good back when that was a thing. Just going around Jody’ing baws wives. If I have 20 more years hearing people say “we should get aligned” I will off myself.

10 years ago I passed on something similar to this. I still regret it.

You are only like an hour away from 90% of the Wyoming population. Probably.

We should send them an app and resume’. Using every term we hate.

Take ownership
