ranch work
Herding and branding
Ranch work is the physical labor involved in operating a ranch—tending livestock, mending fences, maintaining equipment, and managing land.
The term encompasses everything from riding horses and herding cattle to hauling hay and mucking stalls: He's done ranch work his whole life.
The work is often seasonal, with calving and roundup bringing intense periods of activity.
