ranch manager

Cattle operation supervisor

A ranch manager oversees the daily operations of a ranch, supervising workers, managing livestock, maintaining equipment, and handling business decisions.

The role combines agricultural expertise with administrative responsibility: The ranch manager hired extra hands for calving season.

On larger operations, the manager may answer to an absentee owner; on smaller ones, the owner often serves as manager.
