40 hrs + after hours being on call every other week and weekend, Then a few at the gunshop and squeeze in as many gunshows as I can. All work and no play is starting to suck !
I get paid salary and if I got paid hourly I'd make lots more money. But such is a ranchers life. I average 75 hrs a week. From jan to April when we are calving its a lot closer to 90 plus some days only get a few hours of sleep. But I love my job so I look at it differently than some would. Hell If I didn't work so much id just have time to get in trouble. Sure makes you appreciate rare time off.
I work 50-60 now, but I used to work a lot more, 15-16hr days 7 days a week on storms. Fortunately it was only 3-6 months per storm.
That kind of work load will burn a person real quick.
