- Work collaboratively as part of a small team while demonstrating independence and good judgment.
- Assist with seasonal tasks such as haying, winter feeding, and facility improvements as needed.
- Adhere to all safety protocols, biosecurity measures, and animal welfare standards.

- Strong cattle handling skills, including low-stress methods and calving experience.
- Mechanical aptitude and comfort operating/maintaining farm equipment.
- Valid Saskatchewan Class 5 driver’s license (Class 1A is an asset).
- Physically fit and able to work outdoors in all weather conditions.

- Willingness to work flexible hours during peak seasons (e.g., calving).
- Positive attitude and ability to live/work in a rural setting.
Compensation and Benefits
- Competitive hourly wage based on experience (market rates typically range $20–$30+/hr for skilled hands; exact offer discussed with qualified candidates).
- On-site living arrangements provided (housing).
- Additional perks may include use of a ranch truck with fuel for work-related duties.
