Focus Ranch
Description: Focus Ranch is historically a working cattle / guest ranch but is currently only operating as a yearling cattle ranch. We are located on the Colorado/Wyoming border with land in both states. Steamboat Springs is 50 miles from our location.The yearling cattle are primarily run on both private and forest permit land (Medicine Bow National Forest)in Wyoming. We also run a small number of cow/calf pairs. The Little Snake River flows through the property for approximately 3 miles and is world class trout stream on our property.

We are looking for an individual who has very good horsemanship skills to work with our horses that are well broke but need training with cattle and familiarization with terrain. Cattle experience is a plus but it is not necessary as you will be assisting other experienced cattle riders. It is a great opportunity for someone interested in the ranching profession and lifestyle. Our goal is to fill this position with an individual who rides well and knows horses well enough to bring further along in their training and who’s approach follows acceptable practices demonstrating regard for the wellbeing of the rider and horse. We value enthusiastic, hard working, self-starters who are safety oriented and will take the initiative to problem solve. The ability to communicate well and make key observations is a must as well as working well with others. The job is physically demanding but for the right person, very rewarding when the positive outcomes of a well run cattle operation are achieved.
This position includes housing provided onsite and home-cooked meals . Other perks include high speed internet, laundry facilities and satellite tv. There may be an opportunity to remain employed year round.
