Calving Hand

Hinsz Ranch near McLaughlin, South Dakota is filling one dedicated calving hand position for November 2026 through mid-March 2027. This is a focused winter and calving contract rather than a general ranch job, so the work centres on getting cows through calving: night and early-morning checks, assisting births, pairing up, and the feeding that goes with it. Three months of prior experience is required. The posted normal schedule is 48 hours per week. At $18.87 per hour this is one of the stronger wages among current calving-season job orders, and the employer notes applicants may be offered above the advertised rate based on experience or merit. Apply through the federal job order posting.
