The employee must be able to identify approaching storm periods and take precautions to prevent the herd from drifting against fence lines or into deep ravines where they can pile up and get drifted over with snow and freeze and or suffocate to death. The herder must be experienced in handling extreme winter conditions on a range so as to prevent death of sheep, goats, horses, and dogs. Due to animals expending more energy during the winter months especially during extreme weather conditions, the herder will need to monitor the nutritional needs of the animals throughout winter. Ensure that animals have access to unfrozen water and distribute emergency supplemental feed. Monitor snow levels to prevent sheep/goats from being stranded in deep snow, or caught up against a fence, or stranded in a deep ravine. Herders need to have experience in identifying animals in need of additional nutritional needs, keeping fresh water supply in freezing temperatures, and how to maintain animals in extreme weather conditions. Herder will attend the sheep riding horses, riding ATV’s, and walking. Lives in isolated mobile camps while attending the sheep. May drive tractor or truck in emergency feeding conditions.
