Job Duties:

We operate seasonally, as cattle care needs change throughout the year. After weaning, calves are transported to a feedyard and cows are shipped to a third-party farmer for grazing cornstalks with full care provided from December through February, during which time no on-farm cattle care is required. Cattle care resumes only when animals are physically present on the farm. From March through June, we confine approximately 800 mother cows for calving and require additional labor to assist with birthing, provide supplemental feed, monitor health, and care for newborn calves. After June, the herd returns to pasture, and work primarily consists of fence maintenance and moving cattle between pastures throughout the grazing season, which typically ends in November. At that point, calves are weaned and sent to a feedyard, and cows are again sent to a third party to winter on corn stalks. Although the cattle remain our property, a third party provides winter care. Employees are required to assist with all assigned livestock duties while cattle are on-site, including feeding and watering livestock; monitoring feed and water supplies; mixing feed, additives, and medications; and transporting feed using trucks, tractors, or other equipment. Additional duties include examining animals for illness, injury, or improper weight gain; administering vaccinations or arranging veterinary care; assisting with breeding and calving; grooming, trimming, shearing, and other animal care tasks; applying disinfectants or insecticides; herding livestock on foot, horseback, or ATV; moving livestock and equipment between locations; and cleaning stalls, pens, and equipment. Employees will also inspect, maintain, and repair equipment, machinery, pens, yards, fences, and buildings as required. Employer may also, at its sole discretion, offer performance-based incentive bonuses that are not guaranteed and are determined by the employer.
