Animal Breeders and Technicians

Even when a good training or technical program is completed, the graduate often must begin work at a low level before advancing to positions with more responsibility. But the technical program graduate will advance much more rapidly to positions of major responsibility and greater financial reward than the untrained worker.

Those graduates willing to work hard and keep abreast of changes in their field may advance to livestock breeder, feedlot manager, supervisor, or artificial-breeding distributor. If they have the necessary capital, they can own their own livestock ranches. Some breeders work as consultants to farmers.
