This is a 10,000 acre cattle ranch in far Eastern Arizona, ten miles from the New Mexico border. We have a pleasant year-round climate, just below the Mogollon Rim. Headquarters is at 4500'. We direct-market natural grassfed -- well, cactus-fed-- beef. Lotsa rocks..!.. and jobs for interns are variable, depending on motivation more than on experience. Some construction work, solar systems, water management, fence repairs. Very limited telephone or i-net; we wouldn't have TV if they paid us to take it; read good books. We work with the land to make it as stable and healthy as possible, and rely on horses and cattle to do the heavy management: think healthy watersheds, flowing creeks and your place in a tough natural world including decades of severe drought. The ancient Mimbres, Mogollon and Salado cultures lived here and have left their habitations to discover and explore. Spectacular scenery; backpacker heaven. We are looking for interns who are anxious to try, willing to learn, physically motivated, pleasant and upbeat; there are no experts in this business. We ask for a one-month minimum stay. Fluent French, Spanish and English spoken; swearing also available in Pashto, Apache/Navajo, Sesotho, Somali, Urdu, Bambara or Amharic as warranted.
