Ranch work involves a variety of tasks related to the care and management of livestock, such as cattle, horses, sheep, and goats, as well as the maintenance of ranch property. Typical duties include feeding and watering animals, repairing fences, herding livestock, assisting with breeding and birthing, and maintaining equipment. Ranch workers may also help with branding, vaccinating, and transporting animals, as well as general land management and upkeep of facilities. The work is often physically demanding and requires knowledge of animal behavior, machinery, and safety practices. Ranch work can be seasonal or year-round, depending on the operation.
