Job Duties:

Must have 4 months experience with 800 - 1000 head flocks. One reference required. The employee must be able to identify approaching storm periods and make precautions to prevent the herd from drifting against a fence line where they pile up and get drifted over with snow and freeze to death. 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 51% 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. The employee may be held accountable for damage to the housing unit that is the result of negligence on the part of the employee (normal wear and tear excepted). ***Hours worked footnote: On call for up to 24 hours 7 days a week*** Debe tener 4 meses de experiencia con 800 - 1000 cabezas de bandadas. Se requiere una referencia. El empleado debe ser capaz de identificar los períodos de tormenta que se aproximan y tomar precauciones para evitar que el rebaño se desplace contra una línea de valla donde se amontonan y se dejan arrastrar por la nieve y mueren congelados. El pastor debe tener experiencia en el manejo de condiciones invernales extremas en un rango para evitar la muerte en ovejas, cabras, caballos y perros. Debido a que los animales ejercen más energía durante los meses de invierno, especialmente en climas extremos de invierno, el pastor necesitará controlar las necesidades nutricionales de un animal durante todo el invierno. Asegúrese de que los animales tengan acceso al agua que no esten congeladas y distribuya alimentos suplementarios de emergencia. Controle los niveles de nieve para evitar que las ovejas / cabras se paralicen en la nieve profunda o se vean atrapadas contra una cerca. Los pastores deben tener experiencia en la identificación de animales que no reciben suficiente nutrición, mantener un suministro fresco de agua a temperaturas de congelación y cómo mantener a los animales en condiciones climáticas extremas.
