Ranch Foreman

Lead Cattle. Steward the Land. Build the Future of Ranching.

We are seeking an experienced Ranch Foreman to oversee a progressive commercial cattle operation that combines traditional stockmanship with innovative grazing technology. This is an opportunity for someone who takes pride in cattle, land stewardship, and building a productive ranch culture while working on one of the most forward-thinking grazing programs in the region.

The Foreman will be responsible for managing approximately 1,000 commercial cows or a combination of roughly 700 cows and 1,500 yearlings utilizing an intensive rotational grazing system supported by virtual fencing technology. Cattle movements occur every 1 to 4 days, requiring a hands-on leader who understands both livestock and grazing management at a high level.

What You’ll Do

• Lead all daily ranch operations related to cattle and grazing management.
• Manage cattle movements through an intensive rotational grazing program utilizing virtual fence technology.
• Monitor forage conditions and make grazing decisions that improve both cattle performance and range health.
• Oversee cattle health programs, treatment protocols, and record keeping.
• Ensure cattle are handled safely, efficiently, and with a low-stress philosophy.
• Utilize technology and data to improve operational decision-making.
• Maintain ranch infrastructure including water systems, fencing, corrals, and equipment.
• Coordinate seasonal activities including breeding, calving, weaning, shipping, and pasture management.
• Help build a positive, accountable, and hardworking ranch culture.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience managing commercial cow-calf and/or stocker cattle operations.
• Strong knowledge of range management, grazing systems, and forage utilization.
• Excellent cattle handling and animal health skills.
• Comfortable learning and utilizing technology, including virtual fencing systems and digital recordkeeping.
• Self-motivated leader with strong organizational and communication skills.
• High level of integrity, accountability, and work ethic.
• Ability to think independently, solve problems, and make sound decisions.
• Passion for continuous improvement and stewardship of both cattle and land.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Opportunity to lead a highly progressive grazing operation utilizing cutting-edge virtual fence technology.
• Significant responsibility and autonomy for an individual who wants to make an impact.
• Strong ranch culture focused on doing things the right way.
• Work alongside people who value stewardship, innovation, and excellence.
• Competitive compensation package based on experience.
• Very nice ranch home provided.
• Long-term career opportunity with a stable and growing cattle operation.

If you are a cattleman who enjoys being in the pasture, values stewardship of the land, embraces innovation, and wants to help shape the future of ranching, we’d like to visit with you.
