Timmerman Feedyard Management Internship Now Accepting Applications
Apply by March 11, 2025 for the 2025 Timmerman Feedyard Management Internship. The internship is open to anyone interested in feedyard management--need not be a UNL student to apply.
The Timmerman Feedyard Management Internship is a nationally renowned feedyard management training program, exclusive to University of Nebraska-Lincoln, which has been producing feedyard management and industry leaders since 1988. The internship trains students through comprehensive feedyard management classes and with real world experiences in high caliber feedyards.
This program is designed for students interested in pursuing a career in beef feedyard management or other related agribusiness areas. The purpose of the internship is to train undergraduate students in the area of feedyard management to fill the growing need for trained, responsible individuals who can enter into management positions in feedyards.
There is no direct cost to the student to participate in the internship, with tuition paid by the Nebraska Cattlemen and from the Timmerman Endowment Fund. Students receive financial compensation for their time spent working in the feedyard, so students should treat the internship as a job and realize they have a commitment to the feedyard to earn their wage. Salary during the internship is agreed upon by the intern and feedyard; the class coordinators have no part in determining salary.
