How long does opened, unrefrigerated Ranch dressing last?

admin — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:08:18 +0000

I am living abroad in Argentina for a year and I was sent a bottle of Ranch dressing. I don’t have a refrigerator here (not too common to have them here) and I want to open it, but I am not sure if I should yet, I don’t want it to go bad.
While living here I’ve found that a lot of things don’t actually go bad, we are just really spoiled Americans, haha. Thanks for the help!

>If the ranch has a preservative added, give it a shelf life of about 3 months unrefrigerated. Otherwise, if it has been out for more than 4-5 days, at room temp then toss it. You are right, we are spoiled alright, but we also live longer than a lot of people do in the world due to less food poisoning.

Are Mongolian Nomadic Yurt camps like American Dude Ranches?

I have seen Cowboys raise cattle and horses on Dude Ranches here in The United States all from New Orleans and Texas as far as Montana and all throughout The West. In Mongolia, Cowboys and Nomads raise yaks and mares at Yurt camps throughout Mongolia’s steppes. So, are Mongolian Nomadic Yurt camps like American Dude Ranches?

Similar idea to the nomadic life of US/Canadian, Argentinaian, and Australian "cowboys", but not at all like a dude ranch. (The "dude" in question refers to someone from a large city who knows absolutely NOTHING about "roughing it" or horses and therefore experience it vicariously – being led on horse rides and such.)

How hard is it to get a job on a dude ranch?

If I drive to Colorado or Wyoming looking for work, how long would it take me to find a job? I’m looking for something permanent and year round. Would it be better to apply online first? have maintenance and carpentry experience. Also I have outdoor experience in camping, hiking, all types of cycling, and rock climbing.

Dude ranch = If you own a pickle, you are qualified.

Cattle/ranch hand requirements and duties…what are they?!?

admin — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 01:41:13 +0000

I’ve recently become very interested with farming and cattle. I want to start off as a cattle hand or a ranch hand but I have nooo experience. How much experience is required and what are the duties of such positions?

Generally cattle ranches want someone with at least some experience working around livestock (especially dairy farms), but it is not always necessary. Just be prepared to work long days (before sun up until after sun down), do hard work, and get a little dirty. As for the duties, that all depends on the place that hires you as to what they want you to do (but it can include feeding, moving, and assisting in branding). A willingness to work would be the biggest requirement (#1 complaint I hear from farm owners is their employees slacking off or not showing up on time).

What is the coolest and the dumbest name you’ve heard for a boarding farm/horse ranch?

This is for my history homework on the Cowboys and stuff.
Need to include: size, vegetation, resources and landscape.

Well you answered your question lol

Need to include: size, vegetation, resources and landscape.

All of that pretty much sums it up.

Can you make ranch dressing from the Hidden Valley ranch dip packets?

admin — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 06:39:14 +0000

I bought the ranch dip packets by mistake and live out of the country and wanted to know if I could just add milk and mayo to these instead of sour cream and would that produce ranch dressing?

If not any suggestions? There is NO RANCH where I live and this is a must have!!!!

Appreciate any thoughts or advice.

I’d do half mayo and half sour cream, and then thin it out with buttermilk.

You can make buttermilk by adding 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice to 1/2 cup milk and letting it sit 10 minutes.

how can i get a dude ranching job?

can anyone help ive heard about dude ranching recently and im really interested im available asap to go anywhere and start working it seems like it would be and experience of a life time so if anyone knows or has any connections in this field let me know i would appreciate it

It’s not as "glorious" as you think. I see them guys sweating, and freezing in the same day. What I would do is do a search for dude ranches, and see what pops up, then call them and ask them if they are hiring.

Around how many ranch hands would a 200 horse ranch employ?

admin — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 06:50:46 +0000

I’m writing a story and am trying to figure out the answer for this. Thank you!

Id say about one ranch hand for every 2-3 horses. Crazy i know but every house has a different need. And needs to be taken care throughout the whole day. I hope your story turns out well.
