Cowboy Jobs in Montana
0 open listings · updated Sep 13, 2026
Cowboy jobs in Montana, listed as employers post them and as we find them on employers’ own career pages. Cowboy positions are horseback cattle work on ranches, feedlots and grazing allotments, paying $150 to $250 per day or $2,800 to $4,000 per month with housing and horse feed. Montana licenses guides through the Board of Outfitters under a sponsoring outfitter, and most Montana listings include housing because town rents are high.
More About Cowboy Jobs in Montana
Each cowboy listing in Montana shows the season dates, whether housing and meals are included, the pay when the employer states it, and how to apply directly to the employer. There is no application fee and no recruiter in the middle: the apply link goes to the outfitter, ranch, lodge, agency or crew that is hiring. Listings an employer posts directly are checked by a person before they go live; listings we found on public career pages are marked until they have been checked, so confirm the details with the employer before you travel. Recently filled cowboy positions in Montana stay visible below the live listings so you can see which employers hire and when.
