trucks, or other enclosures. Examine animals to detect illness, injury, or disease, and to check physical characteristics,

such as rate of weight gain. Provide medical treatment, such as administering medications and vaccinations, or

arrange for veterinarians to provide more extensive treatment. Mark livestock to identify ownership and grade, using

brands, tags, paint, or tattoos. Drive trucks, tractors, and other equipment to distribute feed to animals. Segregate

animals according to weight, age, color, and physical condition. Inspect, maintain, and repair equipment, machinery,

buildings, pens, yards, and fences. Move equipment, poultry, or livestock from one location to another, manually or

using trucks or carts. Clean stalls, pens, and equipment, using disinfectant solutions, brushes, shovels, water hoses, or

pumps. Mix feed, additives, and medicines in prescribed portions. Shift animals between grazing areas to ensure that

they have sufficient access to food. Order food for animals, and arrange for its delivery. Perform duties related to livestock reproduction, such as breeding animals within appropriate timeframes, performing artificial inseminations, and

helping with animal births. Patrol grazing lands on horseback or using all-terrain vehicles. Maintain growth, feeding,

production, and cost records. Groom, clip, trim, or castrate animals, dock ears and tails, or shear coats to collect hair.
