Feedlot Cowboy

A feedlot cowboy job with Simplot Land and Livestock at Grand View, Idaho, in the Snake River valley southeast of Boise. The role is care and treatment of feedlot cattle: monitoring cattle by riding the pens on horseback to identify sick, injured or stressed animals, then removing them from the pen for medical treatment. Cowboys also help receive, unload, sort and process cattle as the feedlot and cattle managers assign. Simplot is a privately held agriculture company whose portfolio includes farming, ranching and cattle production alongside food processing and fertilizer, and its livestock division runs feedlots in Idaho and Washington. The posting does not state pay. Applications go through the company’s own careers site.
