Temporary work from 5/18/26 - 3/14/27. Workers will perform general dairy farm labor associated with the care, feeding, and milking of dairy cattle throughout the contract period. All work will be performed under the direction of the employer or designated supervisors, and workers must follow all safety, animal-handling, sanitation, and biosecurity protocols at all times. Workers may not make veterinary or management-level decisions. Milking duties include preparing cows for milking by wiping teats, applying pre-dip, stripping foremilk, attaching milking units, monitoring milking equipment during operation, and applying post-dip after milking. Workers will move cows to and from the milking parlor as directed and must follow proper livestock handling procedures to ensure animal welfare and worker safety. Workers will clean and sanitize milking parlors, stalls, holding areas, and equipment according to established dairy sanitation practices. Workers will monitor milk flow and observe cows for abnormal behavior or milk conditions and must immediately report concerns to a supervisor without attempting to diagnose or treat animals. Routine cleaning and basic maintenance of milking equipment, hoses, and work areas will be performed as directed. Workers will also assist with general dairy herd care duties common throughout the production cycle. These duties may include feeding and watering livestock, moving cattle between pens or pastures, cleaning and maintaining pens, barns, and bedding areas, and maintaining a clean and safe working environment. Workers may assist with maternity and calving-related duties when needed, including monitoring cows during calving, assisting with newborn calf care as directed, ensuring calves are properly fed and bedded, maintaining clean and dry maternity areas, and observing animals for health concerns. Any health or safety concerns must be immediately reported to supervisory personnel. Workers must be able to work in varying weather conditions common to Texas dairy operations, including heat, humidity, wind, and rain. Duties may require standing for extended periods, bending, lifting, and handling livestock. All work will be performed in accordance with employer instructions and established dairy management practices during the period of employment from May through March.
