Afraid that you won't be good enough to win the Grand prize?
Why you shouldn't be scared!
Reason #1 - We are only accepting 8 Students in each Course!
Reason #2 - We will spend 4 Days teaching you the exact skills that you will use in the completion!
Afraid you can't learn that fast?
I promise you one thing! You aren't special enough to screw up our system. Our instructors have years of experience teaching dozens of people how to become cowboys and cowgirls.
We have had people from New York and LA show up with ZERO experience and by the time they left we had them roping live cattle off of a horse! If they could do it so can you.
What is the competition?
You will perform a series of tasks on the ranch. Some of the events will be timed and others will be judged. You will also take a test both at the beginning of the week and at the end. You will then be graded by how much you learned during the academy. The winner will then win 5 young Heifers.
What's a Heifer? A heifer is a female cow that has never had a calf. (If you didn't know that we will teach you that too!)
What if I win the 5 heifers and don't have a place for them?
You have 2 Options!
Option #1 - We keep them for up to 1 month until you find a place to keep them.
Option #2 - We help you sell them and you keep the cash which with the price of cattle being so high will be around $12,000-$15,000
How many people are going to be in the school/competition?
We are limiting each event to only 8 students. This will give you one on one time with the instructors and it will also raise your chances of winning the GRAND PRIZE!
Age 18+
We provide all food and housing for the 5 days that you be at the event. We also provide a ride from the Salt Lake City Airport to the Ranch.
What Else Will You Get?
BONUS 1: Online Video Trainings
You Will Receive Full Access To Our 5 Day Online Cowboy Course. Teaching you about the equipment that we use and the 4 pillars of ranching. Preparing you for the In Person event.
BONUS 2: In Person Roping Lessons
As part of the Event we will cover the fundamentals of Roping and help you become confident in your ability to Swing and throw a rope.
BONUS 3: In Person Roping Lessons
Throughout the three days you will have immersive hands on training from horsemanship, roping, fencing, farming, and more!
What's Your Investment?
The investment for this 5 day challenge is $2,700. You can find plenty of one day experiences on a dude ranch for half of that price.
We aren't looking for "dudes" We are looking for men and women that want to be Cowboys and Cowgirls. They want to make a major lifestyle change and improve their skills on the ranch.
If you were to go to a trade school or college you would pay 10X that amount, and it would give you half of the opportunity.
We are not only giving you tons of knowledge, but we are giving you a chance to start your own operations with our Grand Prizes. This event is just one of 3 events.
After the Ranch Hand Academy you will be ready to go and get a job on a ranch or start your own operation, and your training will pay for itself.
Multiple students from our previous academies have started their own ranches and have made money!
Why Is Time of The Essence?
We are only doing a few of these events and this is the first time we are giving away a prize this big! It honestly might be our last time giving a prize like this away.
We are limiting the event to ONLY 8 people. Our bunkhouse can't fit anymore people than that. With our grand prize spots are going to sell fast!
