The housing is irrelevant to the worker's ability to react and respond to livestock issues or events requiring the workers immediate attention.

Must be willing and able to occasionally live and work independently or in small groups of workers in isolated areas for extended periods of time.

All items required for the position, whether listed in the application or not, including work vehicles, ATVs, water coolers, etc., are provided to workers at no charge or cost to them. The employer will charge the worker for reasonable costs related to the worker's refusal or negligent failure to return the tools or due to such worker's willful damage or destruction of the tools. The employer will provide each worker with a hand-held radio without charge or deposit. All trucks have 2-way radios.
