Job description
Laughing Earth is seeking an Assistant Livestock Manager for the 2020 season, April through November. The ideal candidate would possess at least one season of experience with a small-to-mid-scale pasture-based livestock operation, a strong attention to detail, and an ability to learn on their feet. The Assistant Livestock Manager’s duties would consist of seasonal and weekly planning, as well as planning and execution of pasture rotations for meat chickens, egg chickens, pigs, cattle, turkeys, and sheep. The daily feeding, watering, and maintenance of these animal populations would fall in their purview, as well as assisting with the poultry slaughter, inventory of meat products, and sales at the farmers’ market. This individual would spend a good deal of time setting up fencing and monitoring the health of the animals (code for: good outdoors time!).
