New...Go to a cattle auction and locate the branding chute. WATCH some cattle get branded and you will be amazed at how PEACEFUL it is compared to what your imagination may say. No big deal.

Help Support CattleToday:
Guys, thanks once again. Unfortunatly right now I cant go looking for a ranching job because I'm in school and finals aren't until another few weeks. Thats why I posted on here to see if anyone knew of anything.
Eric, I understand to two birds with one stone, but Ive got to go to the gym no matter what. The job I had last year was lifting all day long, but I still went to the gym. Ive got to go, its an addiction. Whether I'm exhausted or not Ive got to go. But again the hours are going to depend on what sport I decide to go out for.
Again thanks for everything.

My advice would be to play ball or wrestle. You only get that chance once in your life. Working on a ranch somewhere will always be a possibility.
Also there are a lot tougher jobs out there than ranch/farm work, I've only had one part time employee that couldn't handle it, and that was just because he was lazy. If you think ranching is what you would like to do after college, go for it. Don't let people try to discourage you, you will get discouraged enough on your own.

Check the yellow pages for local feed stores, Large animal Vet clincs, Sale Barns, Tractor repair shops etc.. Then post your resume or your Work Wanted Sign on their bulletin boards with your contat info. You could probably post at all the businesses in your area in a single day.
Great Post Chris B.
Play ball or wrestle. Like he said not many people get a chance to do this after high school. If you could play D-1 and perhaps get a scholarship down the road do it. I would have given a lot to be talented enough to play ball after high school.

Scholarship would probably not be a possibility. I am going to do this for myself. I will probably only do it till I graduate (2 years). In all honesty, ranching is not my profession of choice, I just want to learn it. My actual goal is to be a teacher and a coach(which ever sport I decide to/if play). But a few friends of mine we want to have a ranch in the boondocks of Dallas or Mt. Regions (Wyoming, Montana, Colorado...) when were older. Ranching is something I want to learn how to do. Its something I feel that you can be proud of. I love hard work and then seeing the results.
I'm just going to bump this up to the top. I will take the advice of posting when I get the chance, but I just also want to see if anyone is the Houston area sees this. Thanks again for everything. Shoot, if all ranchers are like ya'll I cant wait to work for them. Thanks again.
