Great Grandpa Lurkin “rode fence” on the Irvine Ranch. Does that mean he was bottom rung?

No, it just means he got into the industry rather late in its historical development. In the 1860s and early 1870s, there were no fences.

Generally speaking, yes.
Unless he was the owner of said ranch. We mend our own fences and we are not lower rung but then again we are not cowboys in the "Golden Age of the West"(middle Tennessee farming family)
Did he do this as a young man? Or on a "dude ranch?(pay to play ranch hand)
I don't know your family history so you should investigate.
