🐄 NOW HIRING | FARM, RANCH & PROPERTY ASSISTANT
Our Family Farms TX is looking for a dependable, hardworking person to help care for our animals, maintain our properties and complete farm, ranch and construction projects in the Los Fresnos area.
This is real, hands-on outdoor work and no two days are exactly the same. One day may involve cows and milking, while another may involve landscaping, repairs, loading hay or helping finish out a building.
The work done here matters. What we do helps provide food for families throughout the RGV, and we want someone who takes pride in being part of that.
🐄 Work may include
• Morning and/or evening milking and dairy chores
• Feeding and caring for cows, calves and other animals
• Cleaning barns, pens and animal areas
• Operating a tractor and loader to move and load hay
• Mowing, weed-eating, landscaping and gardening
• Planting bushes, plants and maintaining outdoor areas
• Checking and repairing fences and gates
• Moving feed, hay, supplies and equipment
• General property cleanup and maintenance
• Handyman and repair work
• Basic carpentry and construction projects
• Painting, caulking and installing interior metal panels in barns and buildings
• Helping care for dogs, cats and chickens when needed
• Helping with milk deliveries if able
• Working at our different properties when needed
• Other projects that come up around a working farm
☀️ A little reality about farm work
Most of this work is outdoors in the South Texas heat.
There will be dirt, dust, flies, manure, smells and sometimes mud. Cows are cows. 😂 You need to be comfortable getting dirty and working around livestock.
Some feed, hay, equipment, supplies and building materials can also be very heavy or awkward. You must be physically capable of safely lifting, carrying, pushing and moving heavy items, including items weighing up to approximately 100 lbs when necessary.
Safety comes first. We expect anyone working with us to use equipment properly, ask for help when needed and complete work safely and correctly rather than rushing.
There are always barns to clean, things to organize, repairs to make and projects to finish.
✅ What matters most to us
• Must be 18 or older
• Must be trustworthy and dependable
• References are required
• Must have your own reliable vehicle and dependable transportation
• Able to travel between our properties when needed
• Must be able to safely operate a tractor and loader to move and load hay
• Must be able to listen carefully and follow instructions
• Uses good judgment and knows when to ask instead of guessing
• Comfortable around kids, dogs, cats, cows, calves and chickens
• Comfortable working outdoors and getting dirty
• Comfortable using basic hand and power tools
• Able to work responsibly on your own
• Communicates when something is wrong or needs attention
• Respects our animals, family, customers, equipment and property
• Takes cleanliness, sanitation and farm biosecurity seriously
• Takes pride in doing quality work even when nobody is standing there watching
We want someone who understands the difference between working efficiently and rushing. Getting things done matters, but doing them safely, correctly and with care matters just as much.
🌱 You do NOT have to know how to do everything.
Experience with cattle, milking, fencing, landscaping, gardening, construction, carpentry, metal work, repairs or handyman work is a plus. We can teach the right person our specific milking, animal-care, sanitation and biosecurity procedures.
We would much rather find someone who is honest, dependable, teachable and willing to work than someone who claims to know everything.
For the right person, there is room for additional responsibilities, additional hours and a bigger role in helping keep everything running.
🚚 Being able to help with milk deliveries is a plus.
💰 Hourly pay based on experience and skill level
