Pasture Rider

Beef Northwest Feeders is hiring a pasture rider for its Boardman, Oregon operation, posted 23 September 2026. The job is responsible for the health, welfare and movement of livestock, and the employer is explicit that they want better-than-average horsemanship and stockmanship and experience moving cattle with low-stress handling. Daily work is riding pastures on a set schedule to inspect cattle and identify sickness and injury, recording every pull on a pull slip and logging pens ridden on the cowboy pen map, driving cattle through pens and pastures, sorting fat cattle, and helping load and unload cattle trucks. You furnish your own tack and at least three well-broke horses and care for them; Beef Northwest provides hay, vaccinations and shoeing for up to four horses.
