We are looking for a “seasoned” employee who can jump right into a farming/ranch operation with valid experience running / troubleshooting and repairing all forms of equipment… We raise our own feed and repair the equipment it takes to put it up. The higher end of the pay scale would include someone who is a true “right hand man”. Prospective Bonus’ could come in the form of farm / pasture land / cattle to manage on their own.

A day in the life at Schott Ranch would be a morning meeting in the shop office to compare ‘to do lists’! Our expectations would be carrying of a notebook and constantly making observations and communicate repairs / fencing / Pastures / logging repairs in database / cattle to be doctored / Then a reprioritization of the lists based on mother nature / urgency / time / cost etc…!

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO BACKGROUND CHECK / DRUG / ALCOHOL TEST!
