Help
We are a family owned and operated cattle ranch in Northern Alberta. We primarily use horses when handling cattle, my husband trains horses as well. So we could use help working cattle, feeding cows and horses, calving, barn help with the horses, this may include mucking stalls and saddling horses.
We also have children so we can always use help with child care, house work, cooking and other daily yard upkeep which may include feeding dogs, shovelling snow, cutting grass ect.Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
Currently we have a spare room in our home but our rental home may become available for staying in as well depending on the current rental situation (if we have it rented out or not). This would be a private residence on our property. By likely accommodation would be provided in our home, meals would be included in your stay as well as accommodation.
What else ...
We live in a very rural community so there isn’t much opportunity for paid transport, likely a rental vehicle would be best.
We have several lakes very close by, we are 3 hours from the mountains at Jasper, 1 hour from West Edmonton Mall.A little more information
