Support the handling and restraint of young animals during routine checks or veterinary visits.
Maintain accurate records of feeding schedules, health treatments, and growth progress.
Consult with team members to implement best practices in animal husbandry and welfare.

Experience

Prior experience working with young livestock or in an agricultural setting would be an advantage, but training can be provided for the right person..
Strong communication skills are essential for effective teamwork and reporting observations clearly.
