Ranch Hand

A Front Range stocker cattle operation north of Denver is hiring nineteen ranch hands under a federal job order running through mid-February 2027. The listed duties are feeding and watering livestock and keeping an eye on feed and water supplies, moving cattle to pasture for grazing or to scales, trucks and other enclosures, and helping with calving. Workers may also examine animals to spot illness, injury or disease, check physical condition and rate of weight gain, and give treatment such as medications and vaccinations or arrange for it. No prior experience is required, which makes this one of the more accessible openings in the category. The posted wage is $17.84 an hour on a 40-hour week.
