Any Ranch Hands here?
Just curious if anyone here has lived that lifestyle. My youngest is seriously thinking of moving to Texas, and living as a cook on a ranch. She knows it isnt easy at all. She is a Pastry Chef now in downtown Charleston,SC, so long days are normal to her.

She is not a money person. She is a person that just enjoys something different.
Personal Pilot license, pastry Chef, and just turned 22. All on her own |

Well since she is a hard worker and can handle long days hopefully she can leverage this experience into someday owning her own restaurant or bakery chain.

Sounds great at 22, then you wake up one morning and find out you're 50 and they pay wasn't enough to fund a decent retirement - or the ranch is sold to a developer and you're suddenly on the street with your hat in your hand looking for work as a cook. Maybe she tries it for a year, while taking some online courses in something to keep or changer her skillset...

I say go for it. She's young enough to make mistakes. Too bad they don't do cattle drives anymore.

A kid I know is a ranch hand out west during the summer, and during the winter is a ski coach. I say go for it when you're young, but have a plan B.

You can't teach 'character' and your daughter has it. She'll do fine no matter what she's doing with that attitude.

She should do it. I wanted to be a farmer or forester when I was a kid but followed my dad into the building business.
I also would have enjoyed a career in dog training. Some jobs/professions that don’t pay much are very fulfilling. |

I grew up on a ranch in the 70's, my father was the foreman of it. He did everything there everything from mechanic work on the vehicles to doing cattle roundups, branding (the smell of burning flesh made me sick), guilding ( the boss, Keeny thought it was funny to throw them at me), cuting horns etc, it's hard work. Went to county fairs with the draft horses to compete in pulls We lived in a small 1B 1B cabin on the property until i was 6. Lots of good memories from then. I could go on and on about this. Couple pics of the place and a YT vid (not mine) of what it once was. This thread brought up a lot of good memories
Pictured is my Father on the right my Mom, Louie the horse trainer and my Grandmother on the left next to one of pulling draft horses Another is the pulls they competed in One of the cabin My father on the top unloading Hay and the hay wagon they would take visiters on to see the property |

Old thread I know. Daughter is now a Sous Chef, and she is really wanting to learn the business aspect of being a Chef, and leave to cook on a Ranch..
She is really wanting Texas.. If anyone has any direct links or suggestions now, as many have already given great stuff already, it will be appreciated. |
