What a Rancher Looks Like

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.พ. 2018
  • 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 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!

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

    This video has given me more
    confidence and confirmation in a recent career change. I am 52 years old and decided to get out of the corporate world and go back to my roots. I have recently taken a job as a ranch manager and have 3 men on my team. I am rusty and feeling a bit nervous about this huge change in my life but want to be the best ranch manager I can be. Thank you for doing this video. You are an inspiration.

      I was trained as a teacher and writer of training materials, but wanted to realize my Dad's dream of having 10 acres with a house in the middle. After 25 years of working in education and high-tech training, I had my house built on my 10 acres and ended up not going back to teaching because of a traumatic brain accident. Started with laying hens, added 2 dogs, a couple of bee hives, and ( right now) 11 meat goats. I don't think anyone who knew me back in my 30s would see me as a small rancher! But I love the animals ( much better than some of the people I worked with) and complain to myself about all the work that needs to be done.I've been at this 15 years, and started with the goats 4 summers ago. Every day is different. And NEVER let anyone tell you that you are too old! I'm in my late 60s and do most things here by myself, including building a 12ft x 24ft.goat barn.

    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.🇺🇸😃

    What an awesome video. I love how at the 6 min mark she’s watching a TH-cam 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.

    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.

      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.
