[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 685802, member: 9"] Given all the issues...I'd personally draw up an agreement, details specified, have the guy sign. Don't know what people in your area are worth, but no way I'd do that kind of work for $10. an hour! Unless of course a person doesn't consider themselves "skilled" and all. Even with a part-time, 2-3 times a week visit to check on things, a job "title" would probably be "Livestock Manager" (checking on security issues, livestock health, water, minerals, etc., etc.). X years of experience and/or college degree in livestock area "should" be worth $50. an hour... Consider that plumbers, electricians, welders, irrigation people, etc., are charging $35 to $75 an hour for their professional services. Greeters at Wally World and Fast Food "shift managers" are probably making $8 to $10 an hour. Granted a "competent" H.S. Kid that grew up in livestock business would probably do it for $10. an hour during the summer months. However, can you find one?? The Federal Minimum wage (still too low to support oneself much less one's family) is still now only $7.25 an hour. Put things in perspective...IMHO. ;-) [/QUOTE]
