Possible Job Opportunity- Looking for Advice/Comments

[simba]

I'm 19 years old and currently in my second year of Agricultural Management at Olds College in Alberta. Next year I would really like to take on a short-term job in the States working on show cattle for a competitive cattle operation.

I'd be looking at a January to May time frame as it would allow me to go back home and get my own cattle ready for the Canadian Junior Hereford Bonanza in the summer as well as Canadian Western Agribition in the fall. I have been working with cattle my whole life and am able to clip. I also have experience running a skid steer and loader and am very willing to learn any other required skills.

I am currently trying to decide what the probability is that I would be able to find a job similar to what I'm looking for and what the potential wages & benefits would be. If anyone is willing to share this information with me, or even just point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Feel free to PM me if you prefer. I have  already contacted one farm who had posted a job much like the one I'm looking for on this board and they provided me with some very good information as to the exact job description and wages, I'm just looking for a couple more options and/or opinions.

Thank you in advance.

The Express Ranch in Yukon, Oklahoma would be an excellent place to intern.
