Description:
Howdy,

We are thoughtful, conscientious, observant and have high energy levels. We are in good health, non-smokers, non-drinkers, have clean driving records and we have no children. We have been married for 24 years.

We are a humble, motivated, resilient, self-starting, experienced ranch couple, looking for a ranch hand, cow camp, cowboy position, ranch manager, rural property/ranch caretaker position. We have a willingness to learn and take direction. We are willing to make a long term commitment for the right situation.

As an honest, hard working, couple that takes common sense approaches to problem solving, we are looking for the right opportunity that includes wages for me, housing for us both and if possible the opportunity to run our own cattle.

Running our own cows would be great but it not a deal breaker! We can buy our own cows now, just need to get a brand for the state we end up in. We have one for Arizona.

An opportunity on a place where Vivian might have the opportunity to work with me and the livestock as well would be helpful. Paying her would be up to the employer’s discretion. We are not expecting wages for her.

For 10 years we owned/operated a remote, diversified Wyoming ranch that included 100 acres of flood irrigated ground. The ranch functioned as a working cattle, horse, hunting preserve, licensed bird farm and ranch vacation cabin rental. Town was a round trip of 160 miles. The ranch income was from the sale of cattle, the sale of polo horse prospects to customers from all over the U.S. and abroad, with some from the ranch vacation cabin rental.

We implemented holistic integrated resource management practices to improve the quality of the grasses, water and overall health of our ranch in a sustainable manor. Also, implemented were low stress cattle handing techniques, riparian habitat and wetland management practices.

I have experience managing and handling livestock both as a ranch owner, and as an employee of ranchers. So I have an appreciation for both.
