  WORK WITH DAIRYCOWS - 12 MONTH STAY OR LONGER
  I am looking for a worker that can work independently, take responsibility and take care of the cowbarn.
  
  The helper will do the daily tasks in the cowbarn. It will be milking, feeding, cleaning, see if a cow is sick or in heat, contact the veterinarian and assist him, take care of the cow when it is giving birth and after, and other things that might show up with the animals or machines.
  It will also be other work like fencing, tractor driving(if you have a driving licence for it), cleaning, repairs and all other kind of work that exist on a farm.
  
  Requirement:
  -You have experience with farmwork and milking.
  -You have a B driving licence and you bring your own car since the farm is 6 km from the village.
  -Your english or norwegian level is good enough so you can call the veterinarian and make other phonecalls.
  -You need to show up on time, you are able to work independently and in team when needed, you take responsebility and you are flexible.
  -You need to take a MRSA test and wait for the results before you start to work with the animals. All workers need to take the MRSA test if they are going to be close to the animals
