Ranch Hand Jobs in Colorado
6 open listings · updated Oct 29, 2026
Ranch Hand jobs in Colorado, listed as employers post them and as we find them on employers’ own career pages. Ranch hands handle cattle, fence, water and equipment, often year-round; BLS puts the 2025 median for the occupation at $17.63 an hour, and many ranches add a house. Colorado guest ranches do most summer hiring December to March, and hunting guides work 2026 elk seasons that run September 2 to November 22.
More About Ranch Hand Jobs in Colorado
Each ranch hand listing in Colorado 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 ranch hand positions in Colorado stay visible below the live listings so you can see which employers hire and when.
