Same or different people possible. 

Summer work here might also be possible, as work can expand here depending on help.
 
The program can be formal, or informal, hooked to the university or not, as the student needs.
 
2-7 days per week possible.
Food and Lodging provided.
 
We would like to be paid $100.00/week for the first three months, recognizing the extra time that goes into training and teaching someone the “ins and outs” of a sustainable beef/dairy ranch. 
Once a student is competent enough, we might choose to leave for an overnight trip, at which point we will pay the intern to cover the ranch in our absence. 
If a student is also competent enough, there is the option of staffing a Farmers Market booth for Sabo Ranch, which is also a paid position.
 
Benefits:
Daily delicious food, much of it raised on our ranch or by our direct friends.  Eating LOCAL every day of the year!
Experience living in an off-the-grid home

    August & Sept will include embryo transfer work within our herd
