Herdsperson

A contract vacancy is currently available for an enthusiastic, ambitious person to complete the primary two-man team.

We seek a reliable assistant with a solid dairy background looking to progress their career by assisting with the day-to-day routine and management of a 350-cow herd on a recognised tight autumn block calving, forage-based system. The herd is cubicle housed, with easy-feed grass/maize silage fed as self-feed and in mangers, with concentrates fed in the 16:32 DTL parlour.

There is the opportunity for the successful applicant to join a large, well known dairy farming family business, focussing on fertility, quality milk production from forage/grazing, and have an input with the young stock, with the added benefit of general support from this committed farming operation.

The unit has an excellent farm team and is well equipped with auto foot bathing and Cow Manager Heat Detection in addition to the excellent facilities and a first-class work environment.

The job also offers an attractive, 3-bedroom cottage on the farm grounds, free from council tax, rent and rates along with a very good income, and regular time off.
