  A couple of things you should be aware of:

  • most of our stations have limited spots to fill each season
  • when managers have only a few spots to fill, they may be more picky about someone’s experience with cattle and horses,
  • the season runs from about March until November, and someone who can commit to this whole period will normally be favoured over someone who can’t,
  • you will only hear from our managers if they have a position suitable for your skills and experience.
