What does the day look like?
Between 70% and 80% of your day is routine manual labor and cleaning. You muck out cubicles, scrape dung corridors, power-wash milking parlours and calf hutches, bed pens with straw, and distribute silage and grain rations. On dairy units, you operate milking machinery 2 or 3 times a day: herding cows into the parlour, wiping and disinfecting teats, attaching clusters, and running clean-in-place (CIP) wash cycles. Another 15% to 20% of your time involves driving tractors with front loaders, skid-steer loaders (such as Bobcat), or quad bikes (ATVs), unrolling round bales, and fixing electric fences.
Assisting a visiting veterinarian takes only 5% to 10% of your day. Most health tasks—antiseptic foot baths, sheep drenching guns, and ear tagging—are done directly by you. Work on dairy units uses a split-shift schedule: 04:30 to 08:30 in the morning, and 14:30 to 18:30 in the afternoon. You work 40 to 60 hours per week in all weather conditions, exposed to dust and ammonia odors, regularly lifting feed sacks weighing up to 25 kg.
