- Job requires having or being able to obtain a drivers license within 30 days of hire. Basic English literacy skills are required. Job will require periods when workers may be exposed to varying weather conditions and extensive pushing, pulling, sitting, or walking. Random drug testing and criminal background checks may occur post-hire at the employers expense. These checks may be performed to ensure safe housing and work environments for all workers. Positive drug test results or refusal to comply with testing may result in termination of employment. If the employer discovers a criminal conviction record or status as a registered sex offender that the employer reasonably believes, consistent with current law, will impair the safety and living conditions of other workers, the employer may terminate the worker (foreign and/or domestic) with notification to OFLC and DHS in accordance with 20 CFR 655.122(n).
- 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.
