Job Duties:

Job duties include all aspects of beef cattle production performed in a humane, safe, and sustainable manner. Workers are responsible for the daily care and management of cattle, including feeding forage and concentrates, ensuring continuous access to clean water, and adjusting rations based on nutritional needs, health conditions, and seasonal changes. Feeding tasks include mixing and distributing rations, handling and lifting heavy bags of minerals and supplements, and moving hay bales manually or with equipment. Workers must monitor livestock health daily, detect signs of illness or injury, and promptly report findings. Responsibilities include administering medications, vaccines, and treatments through oral, injectable, and topical applications, as well as assisting veterinarians during on-site visits by gathering, restraining, and preparing animals and maintaining accurate health records. Fly and pest control measures must be performed when necessary, including spraying cattle to control external parasites. Duties include assisting with all aspects of cattle reproduction and development, including heat detection in breeding groups, assisting embryo transfer (E.T.) veterinarians during embryo transfer and oocyte collection procedures, and supporting embryo transfer to recipient cows. Job requires collecting phenotypic data such as birth weights, DNA tissue samples, weaning weights, yearling weights, foot scores, docility scores, and udder scores. Calving responsibilities include monitoring cows and bred heifers for signs of labor, assisting with delivery as needed, and providing postnatal care to newborn calves. Workers must be capable of lifting and carrying newborn calves to safe or designated areas for treatment and care. Additional responsibilities include processing newborn calves and assisting during winter, spring, and fall calving seasons. Workers are responsible for weaning calves, including managing separation processes, monitoring calf health and behavior, and ensuring proper nutrition during transition periods. Livestock handling duties include moving, sorting, working, and transporting cattle. Farm maintenance duties include building, repairing, installing, and removing fencing (both permanent and temporary), setting and maintaining electric fencing systems, and maintaining gates and livestock containment infrastructure. Workers must also prepare cattle for sale, including tagging, clipping, photographing, and video recording. Equipment operation and maintenance are essential duties, including, but not limited to, loaders and feeding machinery to support livestock and facility operations. Workers are responsible for conducting routine inspections and maintenance on livestock-support equipment, buildings, and infrastructure. Facility maintenance includes cleaning and maintaining barns, pens, and handling areas; managing bedding and manure; and ensuring a clean, safe environment for livestock. Winter-specific duties include clearing snow from roadways, feed areas, and livestock access points; ice removal and maintenance to prevent hazardous conditions; ensuring water sources remain unfrozen and accessible; and maintaining livestock facilities during cold weather to protect animal health and safety. This position is physically demanding and requires frequent lifting and carrying of heavy items such as hay bales, mineral bags, and calves. Work is performed in a variety of weather conditions, and duties may change frequently based on operational needs, livestock requirements, and environmental conditions. There are few typical days, and workers must be flexible to perform a wide range of general labor tasks as assigned. The employer reserves the right to increase workers' pay or provide bonuses based on tenure, performance, or other factors that are solely based on the discretion of the employer.
