Seasonal General Ranch Worker

Pribyl Ranch is hiring for the Seasonal General Ranch Worker position in Great Falls, MT. 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. • Complete the daily livestock, water, feed, fence, gate, pasture, yard, and facility tasks assigned by the ranch, checking finished work and reporting anything that still needs attention. • Assist with animal movement, general repairs, cleanup, material handling, vehicle or equipment support, and seasonal projects only within the training and authorization provided by the ranch. • Respond to changing weather and ranch priorities while protecting animals, crops, equipment, coworkers, and neighboring property and securing gates, tools, and work areas at each transition. 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 Pribyl Ranch, the employer also makes these role-specific priorities clear: Complete the daily livestock, water, feed, fence, gate, pasture, yard, and facility tasks assigned by the ranch, checking finished work and reporting anything that still needs attention. Assist with animal movement, general repairs, cleanup, material handling, vehicle or equipment support, and seasonal projects only within the training and authorization provided by the ranch. Respond to changing weather and ranch priorities while protecting animals, crops, equipment, coworkers, and neighboring property and securing gates, tools, and work areas at each transition. What the employer is looking for • A dependable, safety-minded approach to physical outdoor work, readiness to follow ranch-specific instructions, and calm behavior around livestock, vehicles, tools, uneven ground, dust, mud, heat, cold, and wind. • Reliable transportation to the Great Falls-area ranch and clear seasonal availability; the employer does not state a mandatory degree, license, or fixed amount of previous ranch experience on the opening notice. • 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.
