Feeding, giving shots, going to vet office and elevator, running errands, fly control, mixing chemicals, fixing fences, checking pastures and other cattle intensive practices.

 

Summarize Your
Experience:



 

 I worked closely with feedlot and pasture cattle on a daily basis.  It was great to work on a family farm like the Kobbermann’s and gain experience with beef cattle.  They were very willing to help me have the best experience possible and taught me life long skills and lessons about working with livestock and with others. 

 

What I liked most about
the job:

 

I liked working out on the pastures.  It was great to have Albert’s knowledge there with me when I was learning new things and he was interested in the cattle knowledge I had gained from attending UMC.

 

Challenges on the job:

 

 

The most challenging part of my job was that I did not get paid, but had room and board.  It was worth it to me, but I would not suggest it for anyone else if they need to make money.
