VRP FARMS

I had fun at VRP while I was there, I came from dairy farm experience so learning feedlot was very exciting. There was fun people there, where you look forward to going everyday, and also some people who drove you up the wall(like every other job has.) I would say biggest thing with VRP is the management, it is way to far being micromanaged. The pay isn't bad and raises happen every few months if they like the work you are doing. I've also heard of people being fired for no good reason and treated unfairly and having to quit, with nothing being done about how they were treated. 

*my personal opinion and experience
The merged company of Van Raays and Paskals is a dysfunctional mess with Paskals running the show. Its really quite unfortunate that they merged because the "family feel" that Van Raay Farms had is completely eliminated. There is literally a "boss" in every corner. And management cares more for the cattle than they do their own employees. Yeah the pay is decent, but not an ideal job for a long term postion if you want a happy life in between. Good luck.

For the most part, the job was pretty good. Working with cattle, riding a horse for most of the day, and identifying cattle diseases was fun. The people that you work directly with on a day-to-day basis are a lot of fun and keep things interesting, for the most part. However, the days could be very long, especially during fall-run, and their management, on all levels, could be improved.

The management team is a complete joke! several people need to be replaced. Only company I've ever worked for that the HR person ran the company. They thrive on you communicating with them as an employee, but fail to communicate with the employees. If I could  give anybody advice it would be don't work there!!

This place bullies employees daily, the training is next to none and then you will be disciplined for the lack of knowledge. The work place is supposed to be all english but is mostly spanish and if you dont understand spanish you will just get left in the dirt 

It's a good place for work but many things depends of the team that you have to work. It's hard to grow up there so you can be stock in the same job position for years, the good thing is that if you have a good develop you can get a better salary.

Seasonal work, long hours. New to the area, had to learn locations.  Trainer and crew very good helping out. Everyone works as a team, questions are answered (or explained) you just have to ask. I still have new friends I keep in contact with. 

All staff is friendly and flexible. It is hard work but well rewarded. Facing the weather is probably the hardest part of this kind of work, but other than that I had a good time working for VRP.
