Job Description
at Living Lands LLC in Elk Creek, Missouri, United States Job Description From June to March, while livestock is out on the range, it is necessary for additional labor to help with the care and protection of the livestock on an "on-call" 24/7 basis. By June 15th livestock is on summer range. During this season the goats eat brush and invasive weeds, and they are biological control agents for these plants. We move the livestock often during this season to various lands, including the Forest Service. The number of locations is variable, often 5-10 locations. The brush and weed control efforts extend from mid-June to March, when we slow down the animal movement to prepare for production season.
