Job description

We need seasonal employees to assist with our winter calving season. The need for seasonal employment in our cow/calf operation arises because, during the winter months, cattle are run on farm fields, requiring continuous fencing, water hauling, and frequent movement of livestock from one field to the next. In the summer, cattle are placed on prairie pasture and remain there for the duration of the season, which does not require additional labor. Job duties include feeding and watering livestock; monitoring food and water supplies; mixing feed, additives, and medicines in prescribed portions; and distributing feed using trucks, tractors, or other equipment. Workers will also move livestock and equipment between locations, build and repair fences, check and fill water sources, assist with moving cattle from one field to another, and tag and check calves during the calving season. The employer, at its sole discretion, may grant pay increases based on factors such as performance, longevity, and/or experience. Employer may also, at its sole discretion, offer performance-based incentive bonuses that are not guaranteed and are determined by the employer.

Housing: Employer-provided (including mobile or range)

Meals: The employer will furnish free and convenient cooking and kitchen facilities and space for food preparation, as well as the necessary equipment, appliances (including refrigeration),cooking accessories, and dish washing facilities (e.g., adequate sinks with hot and cold water under pressure) that are in working condition and will be used by workers to sufficiently prepare three (3) meals a day. Employer will offer free transportation to town for personal services (i.e. banking, groceries) at least once per week for non range workers.

Transport: The employer will pay the worker for reasonable costs incurred by the worker for transportation and daily subsistence from the place from which the worker has come to work for the employer, whether in the U.S. or abroad to the place of employment (inbound/outbound). The employer will permit workers to select any means of transportation they choose and reimburse workers at no less than the most economical and reasonable common carrier transportation charges for the distances involved.

Experience wanted: 3 months

The job requires exposure to extreme outdoor temperatures; applicants must be able to lift 30 lbs and must have a valid drivers license, and have at least 3 months of relevant experience.
