  • installed. Workers maybe lifting up to 40lbs and walk extensively. The need is only temporary, since we can only castrate our cattle once and only brand, vaccinate them once a year. The three months of the year I can care for the needs of the cattle they do not require me to do individual care. The workers are not caring for the year around needs simply the once-a-year needs. I need
  • workers to help with these extensive and vital tasks. It would be impossible to do all the duties without these workers. Workers will be required to maintain their own equipment which is all provided at no cost. All though it may sound like a fast process it is time consuming and requires extra hands.
