Prospek kerjaya
You can be promoted from general livestock worker to ranch supervisor or livestock technician, or through FP training to become a veterinary assistant or ranch manager. Some workers accumulate experience and start their own small ranches.
Livestock farming is one of the pillars of agriculture in Spain, but automation trends may reduce demand for low-skilled jobs. However, organic ranching and specialty breeding still require manual labor. The proportion of migrant workers is high, the work intensity is high, and mobility is strong.
