We have cattle that will need to be cared for through the winter calving
season, from December to the beginning of May. While confined for
calving, they will be on cornstalks for feeding and moved to a dry lot
at the farm base. There they will be confined for calving until I send
them to pasture. We only need care for cattle while confined for this
period. Duties include tending to the cattle, feeding cornstalks,
checking, and filling water, checking the cows, and doctoring when
needed. In February, the cows will need to be hauled to a dry lot where
they will need hay daily. When they start calving, cows will need to be
checked a minimum of 3 times a day. Employees duties will include
assisting with pulling a calf, birthing and deliveries, doctoring
babies, and tagging calves after birth, and hauling water to the
confinement corrals, breaking ice to make sure they have access to
water, and supplementing minerals in their feed. In March, they will get
branded and get another vaccination before they are sent to summer
pasture in May. Once on pasture, cattle graze for feeding and no care is
needed until the next calving season. Employees will need to haul and
spread the manure from the confinement area to clean out the pens.
Employees will complete general farm duties as assigned. Employer may
provide pay increases for performance and experience at employers
discretion. Employer may provide performance bonuses at the end of the
contract at the employers discretion.
