FALL INTERNSHIP & ASSISTANT HERDSMAN
For several years, we’ve been fortunate to have incredible interns at the farm during the summer. Some have used their experience on The Hill to launch their own show pig endeavors, other have used what they learned to pursue careers off the farm. Regardless of their next step, the experience here at Heimer Hampshires was the very definition of ‘doing to learn’.
Even though summer is winding down, we still have a need and are seeking a fall intern and/or another full-time member of the team to assist in a variety of responsibilities, providing opportunities to learn and grow. Ideal candidate has a passion for show pig industry and is willing to work hard and be part of a team. Hiring and compensation emphasis will be placed on attitude, effort, experience and enthusiasm. Housing can be provided.
