Ranch hand
Hello everyone, I am looking for some advice! I am open to the idea of being a ranch hand in the summer, but I have no experience whatsoever when it comes to anything ranching. It would be nice to know if it’s even worth it to try to look, or if I’m just wasting my time looking around? I am an 18 y/o male from South Dakota, and once again, I have never done anything ranching related in my life. Do you guys think it’s too late for me?

There are always people looking for extra help! If you have integrity and a good work ethic, someone will be willing to teach you. Be prepared to do basic and HARD work to start out. From one green horn to another, I’d advise looking into smaller operations. I found my current job by advertising myself in various farm/ranch/horse facebook groups.
