I was here for the 2011 lambing season, had a tough time with the workload and the lack of sleep and poor diet at first because I was alone, just me me and Val.  Later several cool interns came all at once and we had a good system going and the rest of my stay was very enjoyable. I was there ~3 1/2 months 2010/2011 Some of my fondest memories are of this time.  I returned for the 2012 lambing season and lasted only 3 weeks. First bad sign was her handing me and the other intern there food stamp applications, which I don't agree with.  Money was tight here and the food is not the greatest. I noticeably lost weight. As the days went on I began to realize Val just really wants cheap labor. She had a jobless renter sort of acting as a foreman bossing me and the other intern around while Val stayed in the house most of the time. The work is horribly repetitive ,mostly cleaning jugs, and the layout of the barn makes it 10x harder, I am not really complaining about that because it must be done daily, but there's little opportunity to learn something new. I did glean some useful information from working with the foreman guy, but he is not a teacher and Val is not the greatest teacher. I felt like I had to actively ask a lot of questions instead of waiting for her to actively teach me something. She does pay $50/week, but I think this made her feel like she could treat us like dirt if she wanted to. I've been at several other farms and this one is the only one where I have been screamed at while having a finger pointed in my face with each syllable she spat at me. This treatment got so severe I snapped and had to quit working with her and left soon after. There were a few times where my fellow intern here almost snapped as well. She can be the nicest lady one minute, and a nasty witch the next. Val can be very aggravating to work with. The foreman guy is a huge micro-manager. I felt like he was trying to control my every move. And I did not enjoy working with him. I worked here three weeks exactly and was only paid $100 dollars. I let it slide because I know she has money problem and I was just glad to partially pay off my train ticket.The property here is very interesting. The barn in historic and the property faces the Cut Bank trestle. Downtown Cut Bank is only a 15 minute walk away and there is Amtrak service, so it is very easy to get here. There are horses here, but here is NOT the place to learn about horses. They are mostly neglected. There is no time to work with them and you  will probably need to be  very experienced with horses to work with them. I say this because she had an intern come last year who was hoping to work with and learn about the horses and she was disappointed.Working with the sheep was great though. Seeing happy jumping lambs with their mama's was very satisfying. The animals here are great, the people, not so much.
