Original English description
- Temporary need for seasonal tasks associated with birthing, nursing, feeding, weaning and pre-conditioning of 2026 calf crop . Sesonal duties include routine breaking of ice on frozen ponds and troughs, regular weighing, attending to sick calves and preparing and manaing feeding. Calving duties include scheduled medical treatments through weaning and pre-conditioning up to sale in September or October 2026. Cows are bred to deliver from Jan 1 -Mar 30, 2026. Fall round-up of cows for verification of pregnancy by blood test occurs in late October and completes the seasons activities. The work schedule will be Monday through Friday, 8am till 5pm with one hour break for lunch.
- (Previous H2A permits included forage assistant, with overlapping seasons. These duties and overlapping work duties no longer apply as the owner has assumed all forage responsibilities. Firewheel ranch will only include calving assistant in this and subsequent H2-A applications)
- Based on experience and current processing times, Firewheel ranch is requesting longer than the stipulated lead time of 75 days. Currently the USCIS and Department of State Entry Visa processing can take up to 90 days and must be done sequentially. e.g. a visa appointment cannot be scheduled until the I-97 Permit is granted.
