workhand
Hired physical helper
A workhand is a person employed to do manual or physical labor, especially on a farm or ranch.
The term emphasizes the hands-on nature of the work—someone hired for their ability to perform practical tasks rather than supervisory or administrative duties.
The ranch needed several workhands during calving season.
It's largely synonymous with farmhand or hired hand, though workhand can apply to manual laborers in other settings as well.
