Urgently need someone to clean 3 goat stalls every 10 days & a fourth once a week if able. Two stalls are about 10 X 30 feet and 2 are about 10 x 25.
Involves raking dirty bedding onto a tarp and dumping out doors by the side of the barn (there is a small hill) and putting down fresh bedding . $35 per stall. Need you also to pick up pine shavings at Ward Lumber or Tractor Supply & will pay extra for that (I can get 8 bags into my Honda Accord) . I need 20 bags (5 per stall) May need someone to pick up hay also but not required to clean barn etc.
Also NEED and will pay for taking bags of dirty bedding out (which I've cleaned up in between complete cleanings) AND I PRESENTLY NEED ABOUT 3O BAGS OF DIRTY BEDDING DUMPED from having no help for about a month now (Will pay well for this )
Sincere , dependable, communicative person only please.
I have chronic illness (pain and extreme fatique from a CNS illness) and can't take care of 26 to 30 goats on my own and am no longer able to take bedding out myself at all. I do work many hours a day for my goats and don't want to lose them.
Goats are miniature breed and not aggressive towards people . Will be in stalls while you're cleaning in Winter.
My last barn cleaning helper got a job out of state, quit with no notice when the barn was dirty /the day it was ready to be cleaned and didn't show up to clean it a final time after promising he would . The (great sounding) new guy didn't bother to show up today or even to contact me. I seriously don't want to have to deal with this type of person anymore .
I'm planning to move somewhere more people are hopefully more available to do farm work and more responsible & the population is larger but I'm stuck here and in poor health for now and don't want to get rid of my beloved goats. I am very overworked and need to rest more to get better
Also need someone to do moderate lifting at times (eg moving a couple 50 lb bags of feed) for which I'll pay
I'm also looking for someone to carry water every other day (and sometimes every day) from the kitchen to the barn til Spring (about 15 gallons/three buckets & pt water in feeders /sometimes wash feeders ) but that would likely need to be someone who lives pretty close by or comes through this way regularly ) It's more than 10 steps (or 25 steps) from the kitchen to the barn with a garage being between them and buildings being pretty well spaced apart
No dogs & no smoking on my property please
