701x
701x is looking for a ranch manager who is excited about the future of technology and is passionate about advancing the beef industry. The candidate must have experience raising beef cattle and have the ability to maintain and manage 150 cow-calf pairs in the badlands of North Dakota (Grassy Butte).
This hire would be responsible for managing 701x’s ranch where new technology and products are to be tested daily. This is an independent position, as there are not other full time employees at the ranch. When cattle are worked in large groups, engineers and other 701x staff come to help, such as during fall pregnancy checks and spring vaccinations. Staff will come out to help periodically throughout the year with new test products as well.
It is expected that the hire uses 701x’s app daily to test features and record new data, and to provide feedback to our engineers in order to improve the user experience. The ideal candidate is independent, tech-savvy, and a problem solver with good documentation and verbal communication skills.
Housing is provided at the 701x test ranch and is a requirement of the job, as it is necessary to take proper care of the cattle throughout the year. This hire will be working independently most of the time and needs to be able to complete tasks and give proper care to the cattle on their own. It is expected that small groups of cattle (~5-15 head) will be worked independently by the ranch manager periodically for installing and testing new products. Supervising the production and care of the herd and overseeing the ranging process is a key part of the job. Additional responsibilities include organizing and maintaining shelters, pens, pastures, feeding, and fixing fence.
701x is developing an ecosystem of products to help ranchers be more efficient and profitable. Currently, 701x has a cattle management app, GPS ear tags, bluetooth ear tags, and a remote water tank sensor with many other products coming soon. Be the first to field test these new and exciting ranch products and help us bring the most value to ranchers! Issues and improvements that can be made to these products are to be communicated and taken into consideration by 701x’s engineering team. Help shape the future of ranching and apply today!
