Cactus Feeders is hiring a full-time cattle processor for the cowboy crew at its Frontier Feedyard in Spearman, Texas. Processors handle incoming cattle through the chute, vaccinating, deworming, implanting and applying visual and electronic ID tags, while keeping records accurate and cattle moving calmly. They also run and clean chutes, syringes and taggers, watch for health problems and report them to the cattle foreman or veterinarian, and pitch in on doctoring, pen moves and maintenance. A diploma or GED is preferred but experience can substitute, prior cattle handling is preferred and BQA certification is a plus. Pay is hourly based on experience, with health, dental and vision insurance, life insurance, a 401(k) and a fully company-paid employee stock ownership plan. The job was posted September 2026; apply through the Cactus Feeders careers site.
