Feedyard / Feedyard Manager
Candidate Description:
This Hansen Agri-PLACEMENT candidate was raised on a small farm with cow/calf, sheep, hogs and chickens. He attended Kansas State University and graduated with a BS in Animal Science, business option. For four years he worked for a Kansas farm with 8 circles of irrigated corn and 500 acres of dryland wheat and ran about 500 head of stockers on irrigated rye pasture. He then moved to Missouri for a year and a half working on a farm with 5 circles of irrigated corn, 500 acres of dryland wheat and about 700 cow calf. He trucked corn to river ports and feed mills several hours away. He put up fescue hay and baled wheat straw, both round and small squares. He moved back to Kansas and worked at a 4000 head start to finish feedyard and heifer development. He started out as a pen rider/walker learning doctoring, processing, pen cleaning and feeding and then spent two years on the heifer development side. He then went to work on a large feedyard for three years and was the head doctor. While there he attended the Graham School for Cattlemen to learn preg checking. He also learned the flow of a big yard and was responsible for many duties there including, doctoring, shipping fats, horseback, postmortems, go home transport, farrier scheduling and pharmaceutical ordering and monthly inventory. He than returned to SW Kansas to work for his previous employer, this time to manage their 2500-head feedyard and has been there for a little over seven years. He oversees between one and three employees, is responsible for bunk reading, ration schedules, processing and reimplant schedules, fat sorting and shipping. He also feeds daily and is the sole person that does pen cleaning and welding unless they hire an outside crew. They do all their own processing and doctoring. He monitors the silage crews to ensure feed quality. He meets with the veterinarian and nutritionist monthly. The owner comes by once a week to ship fat cattle, otherwise they correspond by phone, text and email. He enjoys working in a feedyard and would like to keep advancing in this occupation.
