Must have 3 months experience with 800-1000 head flocks. One reference required. Herder will be experienced in operating wood burning and propane fueled stoves in his living quarters. Winter range herding is done when plants are typically in a dormant state. Some winter plants are toxic in their dormant state and herder must be able to recognize such plants and herd the animals in such a manner as to avoid them. Herder will be required to assist in corralling and preparing animals for shearing in last days of winter herding. Life enhancing schooling may be offered to interested herders, but are not mandated, such as driver’s training, machinery maintenance, shearing, farm machinery operation and firearm safety and predator control techniques. The herder must be experienced in handling extreme winter conditions on a range to prevent death in sheep, goats, horses, and dogs. Due to animals exerting more energy during the winter months especially in extreme winter weather, the herder will need to monitor the nutritional needs of an animal throughout winter. Ensure that animals have access to unfrozen water and to distribute emergency supplemental feed. Monitor snow levels to prevent sheep/goats from being paralyzed in deep snow or caught up against a fence. Herders need to have experience in identifying animals who are not getting enough nutrition, keeping a fresh supply of water in freezing temperatures, and how to maintain animals in extreme weather conditions. Some work/tasks may occur off the range, but more than 50% of work will be performed on the range. Western Range Association and its member ranches facilitate practices of good animal husbandry. Employees that are found abusing, neglecting or abandoning livestock entrusted to their care may be terminated for cause. If the negligent/abusive actions of an employee result in the loss/death of livestock/animals or cause harm to another person, the employee may be held accountable for these actions. The worker will live in the employer provided range housing. Said housing will be clean and in good repair at the time it is provided to the employee. The employee is responsible to maintain the housing unit in a reasonable level of cleanliness in order to avoid flies, mice or other vermin. The employee is responsible to alert the employer of damage to the housing unit within a reasonable amount of time.
