Help

This person needs to be willing to work strange hours, due to calving schedules the cows decide when we work, preferred to have someone with some experience with animals. We are willing to train on equipment and develop skills around the animals. The biggest request is that you have a willing and positive attitude, be open minded to learning many different things.Languages spoken
