Animal Breeders

‹ ›

Select and breed animals according to their genealogy, characteristics, and offspring. May require knowledge of artificial insemination techniques and equipment use. May involve keeping records on heats, birth intervals, or pedigree.

Duties vary widely—from raising plants and livestock to operating large farm equipment.
The majority of agricultural workers learn their skills on the job in less than a month; animal breeders require more work experience or a college degree.
Job openings are expected to be numerous; opportunities for agricultural equipment operators, and crop, greenhouse, and nursery farmworkers should be particularly plentiful.
