Help
We would like to have help with calving, general equipment maintenance, fencing and possibly building cabins, moving processing and working cattle, we use horses and dogs when needed and quads most of the time.
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.
