Description
Family of 3, mom with children ages 18 & 14. Non smokers, enjoy sports, animals and the outdoors. We are involved with sports and hobbies that take us all over the province of Alberta. We live on a cattle and horse ranch in a rural setting.
I took on an off farm job but will require assistnce duriing calving to monitor the 20 cows during April. Looking for someone to help with calving, feed hay using the tractor, I also have 4 riding horses that could use some riding to get them in shape and keep them trained. Room and board supplied and if you have a drivers licence there is access to a farm truck.

Help
Looking for someone who enjoys being outdoors and is capable of physical work. There are horses to ride if you are interested, kids that will want to play soccer and if you enjoy cooking at all that is a bonus! During the spring we are checking cattle, calving cows, feeding, fixing fence and during the summer there is moving cattle from pasture to pasture. Horses to work and sports events to attend.

Accommodation
We have a guest bedroom in the basement of the house or if you prefer, a separate recreational live in trailer located in the yard.
What else ...
We are approximately an hour and a half from Edmonton and 3 and a half hours drive to Jasper National Park. If you have a valid license to drive in Canada it is a possibility to use one of our vehicles. Although there is no public transport to our ranch, we travel daily to the local town and usually a few times a week to the city of Edmonton. The weather is Canada, in the summer, is the nicer weather to be here in.
