Seeking Ranch Job: Summer Work SOLD #210318 Posted by: cattleguy45 [see other ads by this poster] City: Ames [see other ads in this city] State: Iowa [see other ads in this state] Exp. Cow Calf: 4 Exp. Yearlings: 3 Exp. FeedLot: 5 Exp. Horse: 1 Exp. Haying: 3 Room And Board: Yes Phone#: 917-455-8876 Description: I am a 26 year old cattleman seeking summer work prior to going to graduate school this fall for Ranch Management. My main goal for this summer is to improve upon my horsemanship. I have been living in the Midwest where working cattle on horseback is almost nonexistent and I need to learn this before I relocate after school is completed. I am looking for any type of seasonal job/internship that will provide this learning experience. I am more than willing to do any other tasks required. In exchange I am willing to be very negotiable on pay. I would need some type of housing (I don’t care how bad it is) for myself and my two working dogs (they do not have to work cattle if that is not something you want on your operation). I can provide as many references as you would like at your request. I will be able to relocate by mid June, possibly earlier if need be and would need to move for school by mid/late August. Please do not hesitate to reach out and contact me at 917-455-8876. I am open to any position, anywhere. The following are my non negotiables: Lots of horseback experience Housing for myself and two dogs Alex Wunsch Education: Iowa State University Ames, Iowa Bachelor of Science Degree: Animal Science, May 2022 Minor: Agricultural Systems Technology Agricultural Experience: Iowa State University Beef Farms Assistant Manager August 2024- Present Oversee and manage a crew of undergraduate employees at two separate farms Responsible for daily health checks, cattle movements, and chute work Assist with AI and estrus synchronization protocols Implement rotational grazing, swath grazing, and cover crop grazing Coordinate with university faculty and outside organizations on cattle needs for classes and events Daily operations of a commercial fall herd and seedstock spring herd that retains ownership of calves Daily operations of a research oriented feedyard Goodale Farms Assistant Manager August 2023- July 2024 Managed a crew of employees ranging from full time workers to seasonal visa workers Coordinated logistics for direct to consumer sales and wholesale orders Improved and repaired facilities and equipment Daily care of a diverse livestock and exotics operation Educated the general public on modern farming practices Led agritourism tours to the general public and industry members Seasonal vegetable production, haying, and silage harvesting Cactus Family Farms Gilt Development Unit Assistant Manager May 2022- July 2023 Responsible for daily care and selection of gilts Upkeep of site maintenance and safety protocols Receiving and shipping of gilts Identifying and treating sick and struggling pigs Follow animal welfare and withdrawal protocols 5 Rivers Cattle Feeding Company Intern Summer 2021 Doctored sick and injured cattle Upkeep of feedyard maintenance on fencing, waterers, and equipment Adjust feed calls based on cattle intake and bunk readings Perform tasks of feed mill maintenance and operation Ship and receive loads of cattle and follow medication withdrawal protocol Iowa State University Beef Nutrition Farm Student Worker September 2018- May 2022 Handle cattle utilizing low stress techniques Responsible for daily feeding and execution of research trials Upkeep of animal welfare Operation of various equipment Tradition of Excellence Beef Sale Student Worker Fall 2019 Designed pen layout of Beef Teaching Farm auction of open heifers, bred heifers, and bred cows Assisted with halter breaking heifers Functioned as a team player, interacting with clients and making sales decisions Transitioned sale from live auction to online auction Additional Relevant Skills Employee management skills- including but not limited to student labor, seasonal and temporary labor, and visa labor Familiarity with data management software such as COW Feedyard, Performance Livestock Analytics, AgriWebb and PorkView to manage animal health, feeding analytics, grazing systems, and withdrawal protocol Operate various equipment including but not limited to payloaders, skidloaders, tractors, dump wagons, feed wagons, feed trucks, bale processors, hay mowers, hay rakes, small square balers, no till drills, manure spreaders, silage wagons, self propelled silage choppers, and stationary mixers Experience with hauling cattle, flatbed trailers, inline bale trailers, gooseneck and bumper pull livestock trailers Basic stick welding knowledge Pipe corral and animal handling facility construction Basic concrete experience BQA Certified Activities: Iowa Cattlemen’s Association Fall 2024- Present Work to address the issues facing Iowa cattle producers at the local, state and federal level.
