Livestock Farmworker

Livestock Farmworker at Brown Trucking Inc in Ponca, NE.

SOC 45-2093—100% of the work involves cattle/cow/calf operations on the ranch during the winter and spring confinement and calving season from December to May, when the grass in the pastures has stopped growing and snow covers the fields, requiring cattle to be brought in from pasture and kept in confinement. During this period, the work centers on daily feeding and care of the cows and calves, with cows confined to calving pens while calving out the cows and heifers. The employee assists the cows during calving and supports the handling of calves through branding and vaccinating, then helps move the cattle to the summer pasture after the calving season ends. After May, the cows are moved back to grass pastures and no further feeding or care is needed until the next seasonal cycle.

Work begins December 10, 2026 and ends May 10, 2027.
