Additional duties may include spring tillage, manure hauling, and silage chopping and packing. Also, run 600 purebred cow herd, great diversity, as no two days are alike. Maybe feeding in the morning and doctoring calves in the afternoon. A person must be dependable, have good decision-making skills, be a self-starter and willing to assist in all areas of the operation. Good equipment operation skills would be a plus as will be used as more of a support role in farming when daily feedlot chores are completed. This is a purebred operation, so any experience in working with purebred in a development yard, calving, record keeping, and fitting cattle for show and sale are pluses. Ideally, the employer would like to see someone that has 2-5 years of working experience to bring some leadership, knowledge and upper skill set with them to this position. The salary will be dependent on experience. Will train younger individual with the basic skills, solid work ethic, and a desire to learn and better themselves. Great location for a spouse to find work, good schools, and a great community.
