Ranch Assistant

Rocking BS Ranch is hiring for the Ranch Assistant position in Las Vegas, NV. This hands-on role supports the operation's day-to-day production and care work. Reliable execution and early communication matter because the work directly affects plants, animals, equipment, coworkers, customers, or the surrounding property. What you will do • Check and care for assigned livestock, water, feed, fences, gates, corrals, and ranch facilities. • Assist with safe livestock movement, pasture work, equipment use, repairs, and seasonal ranch projects as trained. • Communicate animal-health, water, fence, weather, predator, equipment, or safety concerns without delay. • Work closely with mares, foals, and young horses on the ground, following the ranch's handling instructions and communicating changes in behavior, appetite, movement, condition, or health. • Complete daily grooming and bathing, feeding, medication support, cleaning, and organization with the consistency required in a breeding operation where animal routines cannot be postponed. • Assist with trailer hauling and heavy lifting, prepare animals and work areas for the next task, and maintain orderly stalls, equipment, feed, treatment supplies, and shared ranch spaces. How the work fits together The day begins with livestock, water, and security checks, because those observations determine the rest of the work. The employee then completes feeding, moves, repairs, pasture or equipment tasks, and facility cleanup in the manager's priority order. Gates, animals, tools, and vehicles are accounted for at every transition. At Rocking BS Ranch, the employer also makes these role-specific priorities clear: Work closely with mares, foals, and young horses on the ground, following the ranch's handling instructions and communicating changes in behavior, appetite, movement, condition, or health. Complete daily grooming and bathing, feeding, medication support, cleaning, and organization with the consistency required in a breeding operation where animal routines cannot be postponed. Assist with trailer hauling and heavy lifting, prepare animals and work areas for the next task, and maintain orderly stalls, equipment, feed, treatment supplies, and shared ranch spaces. What the employer is looking for • Highly motivated, physically capable, passionate about horses, and prepared to show up ready for the quiet, repetitive daily work that supports the ranch's breeding program. • Horse-handling experience is important; experience in a breeding operation is an advantage. Candidates should clearly describe their work with mares, foals, young horses, medications, trailers, and barn routines. • Dependable attendance, direct communication, and willingness to follow the employer's safety, quality, and customer- or production-care procedures. • Ability to complete the role's active, in-person work and to ask for instruction before using unfamiliar tools, equipment, products, or animal-handling methods. Schedule, conditions, and compensation This is a full-time, on-site ranch position. Early mornings and late evenings are part of breeding season, and animal needs may require flexibility beyond a fixed daytime schedule. On-site housing is provided. The ranch does not publish the wage, standard weekly hours, days off, overtime treatment, housing terms, paid leave, insurance, or other benefits. Applicants should confirm the rotation, emergency coverage, start date, compensation, housing occupancy rules, utilities, trailer-driving expectations, and lifting requirements before accepting. The employer does not publish a numeric wage range on this page, so no compensation has been estimated. Applicants should confirm the final hours, overtime treatment, starting assignment, travel or reporting point, supplied equipment, and benefit eligibility directly with the employer before accepting an offer. This is an in-person agricultural and animal-care position with a small operation. Daily priorities can change with weather, plant or animal condition, equipment availability, customer schedules, and the season. The successful person should arrive ready to work, communicate early when a task or condition is unclear, follow the employer's safety and quality procedures, and leave tools, vehicles, production areas, and job sites secure and ready for the next shift. Applicants should expect active work that may include long periods of standing or walking, bending, lifting, repetitive hand tasks, noise, dust, mud, pollen, heat, cold, rain, or work around moving equipment. The exact physical demands differ by assignment. Candidates should discuss any accommodation needs with the employer and confirm the final schedule, overtime treatment, training period, travel expectations, and benefit eligibility before accepting an offer. Only compensation and benefits expressly published by the employer are included here; unpublished terms have not been estimated.
