About this job

Penn State's Beef and Sheep Center and Haller Farm are hiring part-time animal attendants for hands-on beef and sheep production work at University Park. The opening is limited to Penn State students and offers practical experience with daily livestock care and farm equipment. Responsibilities β€’ Feed and water beef cattle and sheep β€’ Clean pens and maintain bedding β€’ Move animals safely between pens, handling areas, and pastures β€’ Assist staff with routine animal-health procedures β€’ Keep livestock areas, tools, and workspaces orderly β€’ Depending on experience, train to operate tractors, mowers, and skid loaders β€’ Support other seasonal beef and sheep production tasks as assigned Qualifications and schedule The center is looking for students with a strong work ethic and dependable availability. Previous livestock experience is preferred but not required for every assignment. Some weekends are required because animal care continues every day. The position requires a valid driver's license, a satisfactory motor-vehicle-record check, and Penn State's standard employment background review. Limited on-farm housing may be available, but it is not guaranteed. Penn State does not publish a pay range in the announcement. Interested Penn State students must apply through the University's internal Workday application rather than the external applicant route. This is a good opportunity for an animal-science or agriculture student seeking direct experience across feeding, sanitation, animal movement, health support, and equipment operation in working university livestock units.
