The job
The worker will perform seasonal agricultural duties associated with the winter feeding and care of beef cattle on a cattle and hay farm near Edgeley, North Dakota, where winter conditions require the cattle to be fed and bedded daily in pens and barns. The majority of the worker's time will be spent feeding and bedding the cows and calves daily throughout the winter months. During the winter feeding period, the worker will prepare feed by grinding corn and hay, bed out pens and barns, and check and maintain water fountains so the cattle have water through freezing conditions. During the winter calving period, the worker will assist with calving and the care of cows and newborn calves. Winter duties also include moving livestock, handling cattle, and attending to the health, wellbeing, and comfort of the cattle while they are on winter feed. When the daily cattle work is completed, the worker will perform routine maintenance of farm equipment used for winter feeding in the heated shop. General farm labor is limited to work directly related to the winter feeding and care of the cattle. The need for this worker ends when winter conditions no longer require daily feeding and bedding in the pens and barns.
