What are the responsibilities and job description for the Ranch Intern position at Ranchlands?
About Us
Ranchlands is an agricultural-based business that specializes in the management of large-scale ranches.

The Role
Ranchlands is seeking six-month ranch interns to work on one of our very remote, large-scale working ranches. You will be working alongside our Apprentices, learning what it takes to run a large cattle operation. The internship will provide hands-on experience in all operations, from fencing and digging pipe lines to moving cattle and participating in grazing planning.
Responsibilities
Tasks include, but are not limited to:
- Cattle health checks
- Graze planning
- Checking and fixing fence
- Vehicle maintenance
- Installing, monitoring, and repairing water infrastructure and utilization
- Moving cattle via horseback or dirt bike
Each property is unique, and daily operations vary accordingly.
The ranches we operate are located across the West. Placement will depend on suitability, personality, experience, and interest.
Shared accommodations, utilities, and a weekly food stipend are provided. If interested, please apply through either LinkedIn or you can email your cover letter and resume to ranch@ranchlands.com
