Workers will perform seasonal agricultural duties associated with beef cattle care on a cattle ranch and grain farm during the winter cattle care and calving season.

The majority of the workers' time will be spent on daily livestock chores, including feeding and bedding cattle, moving and handling cattle, assisting with calving, and assisting with the care and wellbeing of the cattle herd. Workers will drive a tractor and operate a bale processor and feed mixer used during ranching operations, and will move and stack hay bales. Additional seasonal duties include hauling grain produced on the farm from storage to the elevator and cleaning out bins of stored grain.
