What a Rancher Looks Like

It’s calving season on ranches around the West. For Maggie Schmidt, who grew up in Salt Lake City, it means cold, early mornings and cold, late nights. Maggie is a ranch manager in Deer Lodge, Montana and while there are moments she may still feel like an outsider, there usually isn’t time to worry about it. There is too much work to be done and always cows to be looked after.

I don't know who she is, but she is worth her weight in gold!! Good for her!!

[@randamitchell4621]

Don’t think about she is going gain any weight for your comment😎

[@TheonetheycallQuaid]

What an awesome video. I love how at the 6 min mark she’s watching a KZbin video learning how to tie on bits. What a resourceful young lady. I think she’d be successful at most any endeavor she chooses. Just goes to show you can never judge a book by its’ cover.

[@scottrayhons2537]

That lady is a real rancher! Cares about the livestock and not sitting in town drinking coffee, bellyaching about prices or gossiping.

[@gigioecu]

I played the audio to your video 2 times before I actually viewed it, and remembered appreciating your voice, the long soft silent pauses, and the music choices. After having seen it for a couple of minutes, I thought “she must have 100,000 marriage proposals by now.” Only to find that your video has less than 700 views. You made my day today. Thank you. Don’t stop, you are very talented!

[@nmelkhunter1]

Great hard working folks feeding our country. God bless and keep up the hard work!

[@claytonharral637]

Find something you truly love doing to make a living at,and you will not work a day in your life while doing it.Most people can not say they truly love what they are doing to make a living.Ranching is a awsome lifestyle. Ranching,Riding,and Roping. Ranch on for success and profitabilty.🇺🇸😃

[@nonyabiz9912]

Man I love this. I grew up feeding 10 head of horses and 40 dogs EVDRY morning. Good memories and it made me a better person. I would love to come work for you.

[@nellyandress4556]

Maggie, I am 4th generation grandson of Oklahoma cattle ranchers , about to move back to Oklahoma and raise cattle, horses, and quail. I was a soldier for a few years but was fortunate to come back to where the wind comes sweeping down the plains. My name is Jeff, give me a shout.

I have the same dream with you, I think the best place to start should be Asia or probably Africa. ..

Shit I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and sometimes I feel like packing what little I have and moving to the Midwest and working as a ranch hand I don't know how to go about it tho.

[@stacy.spenny]

Bruh go to cave creek or desert hills lol

[@tomtaylor193]

You are so cool. Loved this.

[@StanEastin]

Coming from a long line of ranchers, I can say that Maggie is as much a rancher as anybody out there...

[@johnduffant9694]

Your hard working and diligent keep up the good work. I’d give anything to be working with you. God bless you.

[@wolffo999]

most people (most all) will never understand the dawn to dusk backbreaking labor of running a farm/ranch

[@rabahyacobi7161]

[@hughmarcus1]

Great video. Those are very docile cattle. Most European cows would gore you to death if you walked over to a newborn calf like that.

Real Cowgirl and hard worker

[@p0llywillis806]

Wow!! You're my hero!! Just curious though, how hard was it for you to get someone to give you a chance? Most female ranchers were born into it. You must be one bad bish!!! You are the queen of the bad bish club!!!

[@jacquesminor6781]

[@genemari173]

Maggie with your last name Schmidt. Are your family roots Germans from Russia by chance? My last name is Mari and that's where my Grand Parents came from. You are so beautiful. I farm and ranch and drive truck in Northeast Colorado. Hope all goes well during calving season this year.

[@erikjovanovic1276]

If all cowgirls would look like her, cities would be empty...I got one too in south of france. I am a lucky guy.

[@nedyarb7215]

how did i find this and why did i watch it? anyway.... good video!

[@kellycork3839]

Did you grow up in the ranching or farming or did you just like apply for this job and you got trained? I'm just wondering because that's what I want to do but it might be weird since I don't live on a ranch or anything

[@servandolopez5879]

[@rogergerard2616]

Looks like,e she has it all handled Almost forgot how pretty you are Maggie Absolutely a rancher

[@josephwinkler4863]

Those are some healthy cows

[@83uwb]

With the way she talks about the animals and taking care of them I'd imagine a person like her would rather work on an animal sanctuary than a ranch. Especially when she says matter of life and death with the calves is hard for her, since ranching is a business that will require their eventual death. At it's core that is not a concern about the animal itself but about the loss of profit.

[@raerae2253]

That is so not accurate for all ranchers.

[@cathyscribner7798]

It's complicated. Having ranched myself for a handful of yearsl in WY, ranchers know their animals better, understand them, and care for them more than most 'city folks'' ..because there's an implicit equalizing aspect to being in such a raw environment alongside them every day, in all sorts of weather..rendering ranchers just as vulnerable as their animals..their moods and illnesses.. and don't get me started about calving, lambing, shearing, and branding. It's really, really hard work ..and can be really dangerous for everyone involved.

[@lafamiliaflorescruz6436]

Who’s here after watching all the seasons of The Ranch?

[@rabahyacobi7161]

Hi. I’m from Tunisia, my job is teaching arabic and french in primary schools, but i like the farm works. Would you please hire me. I want just to do the job that i like.

[@46rambo49]

there's easier ways to make a living, no better way to live. we slowly changed over to Bison, far less sleep loss, now we loose sleep over what the newly elected adm is going to do and if we will be allowed to keep ranching. my wife says she ranches with kids on her hip and in high heels, no man can challenge that.

[@coyotemoonc3258]

Ya the zoo and exotic animal community deal with the same thing. As a Zoo Keeping student it sucks seeing my field antagonized thanks to the incoming administration and ban laws I'm afraid what I have been working towards is going to be gone before I can even live it. Cows are all that's left of the now extinct auroch so in a way it's arguably one of this first animals to be preserved from extinction.

[@katherinekelly6432]

Simone De Beauvoir argues that it is not the biological condition of women per se that constitutes a handicap: it is how a woman construes this condition which renders it positive or negative. When someone thinks of a rancher they generally think of a man. When a woman enters a domain traditionally dominated by men, she can feel inadequate and be blind to the advantages she brings "Because she is a woman". In general women have a capacity to feel deeper connection with other living beings. Sometimes a woman will lose this ability or shut it down because of trauma but it is her natural birth right. Both men and women are born with gifts, not only as individuals but as expressions of their biology. Anyone who works closely with animal's notices the behavioral differences between the males and females. Your capacity to feel a connection with the animals is strongly evident. That gift is a powerful force in being a "Rancher" and unfortunately for the animals who are in the care of the rancher, a gift that is often absent.

[@raerae2253]

Personally I feel the ranchers are the owners that are the operators. If you are too big to do your own work you are too big 😉 maybe I am biased being a rancher who works beside her husband and we do it all ourselves. Otherwise you are a ranch owner, a ranch manager, or a ranch hand.

[@libertygrange]

I have one question. Are they meat cows because she was drinking store bought milk in that one scene. But she has cows... 🤔

[@tymaze2539]

Well to a Lady Montana Cowgirl from a Texas Black Cowboy, I love your video, and understand everything you said. In this business of being a rancher or Cow hand, people can be a little standoff, being your not like them. I UNDERSTAND But I say, you got heart, be that cowgirl as long as you like, know matter what, as the saying gose, Living The Dream/EAT MORE BEEF If you get a chance, take a look at a good friend videos The Farm Guy
