Ranchlands: Crossroads (Episode 1) | History

[@jaelyn6122]

I was born and raised in the city but have always felt a connection to the country and ranching. I’m only a 14 year old girl living in the city but with a drive and heart for horses, cattle, hard work, and ranching. I don’t know where I would even start from to live in this lifestyle, especially at this young age but I know once I’m out of the house i’m going for it. I don’t own a horse, my grandpa recently sold all his cattle on his farm, and I have no experience in ranch life but I will learn. It will take time, hard effort, and sacrifices but one day I will make it. I just can’t see myself ever working a 9-5 job at a desk all day and I know for sure that this is my calling from God.

[@joaquing7003]

Don’t weaken in your plans. God surely will bless you with your dream.

[@513TigrinnaLilja]

There are several different types of farms and ranches that have apprenticeship programs that would be perfect for you to get the experience you're looking for.

best way to do it is get ahold of the closest ranch and ask them to see if you can become a ranch hand. Tell them with full honesty that you don't even know the first 2 steps in ranching, and that you're from the city. They'll be more then happy to accept and teach you the ropes. discuss the terms and conditions with them. Don't expect to be paid. The payment you get out of this is experience. Expect to work long and hard hours. Tears, but not from bad feelings you get from the city but from pain, and joy. Remember, its your first time, and ranching isn't like office work. It takes time to learn. Lastly, the most important tip I can give to you is to be conservative. A true conservative. Not one? learn to be one. if you need help, I'm the most conservative Asian you'll ever see. Its not a matter of being political but it will be the lifestyle you WILL be living if you go into this field. It will be a mindset you will need to have to help you succeed in the ranching world. If you're not in the united states, you can follow what I said, But if you want true American ranching, get a job save up money and move to the Americas. It's a hard dream to achieve depending on where you are, but no matter where, its always worth the effort.

[@apallok54]

If you interested in working with livestock I'd recommend ffa, however if your out of school, look up horse boarding near me. Start a a horse facility, bale hey and make connections. Than you can make connections and work on other farms. Every state has dairy farms, horse farms, and such of that nature. If your really lucky land a job at a small rodeo company.

It’s hard for a family ranch to be passed down through the generations since the greedy government wants to take a piece of it through inheritance taxes every time it goes to the next generation.

I think ranching is going to make a comeback since the more capitalistic, factory farming, has gotten a bad rep for being inhumane and cruel. this will lead people to start buying from free range cattle coming from ranches. so in my opinion the best time to enter is now before you see it start to rise again.
