O que voce vai fazer

Job entails the comprehensive care and daily management of a sheep flock throughout the winter months on a Mississippi-based farm. The role requires consistent monitoring of animal health and behavior, including early detection of symptoms related to cold stress, illness, or injury. Duties include preparing and delivering appropriate winter feed rations—such as hay, grain, and mineral supplements—based on the flock’s age, condition, and reproductive status. The worker must ensure that all sheep have continuous access to clean, unfrozen drinking water, which may require breaking ice, using heated waterers, or manually transporting water to remote pastures or pens. Daily tasks also include inspecting and maintaining shelters, barns, and windbreaks to ensure that all structures remain secure and adequately protect the animals from wind, rain, and freezing temperatures. The worker is expected to apply fresh bedding (such as straw or wood shavings) regularly to insulate the animals from cold ground surfaces and prevent respiratory and hoof-related health issues. Responsibilities extend to the upkeep of fencing and gating systems to contain the flock and protect against predators, particularly during periods of low visibility or snowfall. Throughout the season, the worker will assist in administering parasite control protocols, vaccinations, and any other veterinary treatments prescribed by farm management or a licensed veterinarian. Detailed observation of individual sheep is required to detect signs of lameness, weight loss, respiratory distress, or signs of lambing. The worker will also maintain accurate logs of feed intake, treatments, medical issues, and flock movements for farm records and regulatory compliance. General winter farm maintenance is also part of the role, including clearing pathways of mud or ice, operating tractors or ATVs for hauling feed or materials, and assisting with snow or debris removal around livestock areas. Daily duties may vary. The employer reserves the right to increase workers' pay or provide bonuses based on tenure, performance, or other factors that are solely based on the discretion of the employer.
