The starting wage for an entry level position in a feedlot can range anywhere between $18 and $24 a hour depending on what you're doing. There's a reason for that too. The work is special.

Despite that though, the fact of the matter is that it is rural Canada and there are increasingly fewer people available in rural Canada to do these jobs.
