Workers will perform general agricultural labor associated with a family-operated grain farm and feeder lamb operation.

Workers will incidentally assist in the care and management of lambs during adverse weather. During periods of extreme cold and/or heavy snowfall, workers will assist other employees with feeding lambs, such as distributing hay or grain, clearing waterers of ice, administering basic medical treatments, assisting in maintaining facility cleanliness, and operating equipment to provide livestock with bedding and/or to clear snow.
