[QUOTE="Lon, post: 828170, member: 16174"] i agree depending on how far your driving to work for the day 100-150 doesnt do alot after fuel and repairs on a truck. heck we pay high school kids 150 a piece for branding and they usually arent there much more than 4 to 5 hours. If ya think about it and branders get this than a person putting in a days work should get the same plus fuel at the least. they are only working when absolutly needed and not a everyday expense so it is worth more that way since you arent paying them on payroll plus workmans comp insureance and some of their taxes. that being said there are some people i just help out because they need the help and would help me back. but this is how i make my living as well working for hire when most poeple need it so i usually get paid 20per hour plus fuel. i have a 150/day min. plus fuel to make sure its worth messing my day up to go do it. rarely ever though do i get people when working cattle have less than 12 hours or better of work from start to finish. also at the 20/hour you woulnt believe how much fencing and haying you can pick up as well. also they should have a plan for when someone gets hurt or how they are gonna have medical insurance. i am as guilty as anyone for not going to doctors for a broken bone but a rib and fingers arent big deals if i broke my leg i would have to go. this kind of stuff can very easily happen when working someone elses cattle. i am sure alot of people can attest to how easy thier cattle are but put a new person in the corrals and they are completely diferent not to mention most of the time people calling for help with thier cattle alot of times is because thier cattle are wild and they cant to it on thier own. (otherwise with 2 poeple that the cows are used to can sort and load anything they want in a timely matter with a decent corral) just my opinion though as i am not down south there so dont know what the work load is but generally ranching is ranching and no one usually keeps more help than what they need and usually do it on thier own if they can.
