Job Title: General Labor - Cattle Care Feedyard Assistant (South Dakota)

Hansen Agri-PLACEMENT is partnering with a progressive and growing feedyard operation in South Dakota to find a dependable and hardworking General Labor - Cattle Care Feedyard Assistant. This is not simply a "clock-in/clock-out" role. They are looking for someone interested in becoming a long-term part of a team-focused cattle operation that takes pride in animal care, efficiency, and doing things the right way.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys working outdoors, being around livestock, and contributing wherever needed to support day-to-day feedyard operations.
Compensation for this position is $18.00 per hour, with employees averaging approximately 55 hours per week.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Monitor cattle daily for overall health and behavior
  • Assist with identifying, pulling, and treating sick or injured cattle
  • Help with cattle processing, receiving, and shipping activities
  • Support feeding operations and general yard maintenance
  • Operate equipment and assist with upkeep of facilities as needed
  • Work closely with the team to maintain a safe, efficient, and productive operation
  • Step in wherever needed to support overall feedyard success

What We're Looking For

  • Previous cattle, livestock, feedyard, or agricultural labor experience preferred
  • Willingness to learn and take direction
  • Strong work ethic and dependable attendance
  • Positive attitude and team-oriented mindset
  • Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions
  • Attention to detail and genuine care for animal well-being
  • Valid driver's license required

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Join a respected and progressive cattle operation in South Dakota
  • Opportunity for long-term growth and advancement
  • Supportive team environment that values hard work and accountability
  • Gain hands-on experience in all aspects of feedyard operations
  • Stable opportunity with a growing operation committed to success
