I've been involved in ranching my entire life, and it is my deepest desire to stay in ranching for the rest of my life. Ultimately, I want to work for a ranch that will give me the opportunity to continue to learn best practices and allow me to live the life of a cowboy, with room for advancement into management. In the meantime, I want to work part time between semesters in the ranching industry to continue to hone my skills.
