Temporary or Seasonal Need 20 CFR § 655.103(d)
The employer has a seasonal and temporary need for two ranch workers based on the annual livestock production cycle in Wyoming. Labor demand increases during this season, summer pasture operations, fall weaning and herd management, winter feeding, and preparation of birthing. These duties occur only during specific peak seasons of the year and cannot be performed by the employer’s regular workforce alone. The employer’s need for additional labor is temporary and tied directly to the seasonal livestock production cycles. Once the seasonal cycle concludes, the employer’s need for the workers will end. The employer does not maintain a sufficient year-round workforce and therefore requires temporary foreign labor for this limited period only.
