I do not recommend bottle tree feedlot During my time with this company, I observed several critical issues that potential employees should be aware of.
Animal welfare is a genuine concern — handling practices and standards often fall below acceptable levels, which was disappointing for someone who takes pride in ethical stock work.
Leadership and management lack consistency, professionalism, and the ability to support staff effectively. The workplace culture is toxic, with little to no accountability at the top, and respect for workers is often missing.
Pay is below industry standards, equipment is outdated and frequently in poor condition, and there is no formal training for new staff — you're expected to hit the ground running with no guidance.
Cattle come in from Stanbroke stations with zero handling, zero education, will run through you and be dangerous
There are no clear opportunities for growth, development, or career progression, making it difficult to justify staying long-term.
Overall, this is not an environment that supports or values its people. I wouldn’t recommend this workplace to those seeking a respectful, professional, or growth-focused career in the industry.
