We are looking for someone to lead a small team on a progressive grass-based farm in south Leicestershire. This unit makes up part of a wider business milking close to 1,000 cows in total. The successful candidate will have full control of the day-day running of the spring block-calving herd, which are mainly Friesian cross bred cows that graze from early spring until late autumn or however long conditions allow. There is great infrastructure on the farm ranging from accommodation for all cows, to extensive track system to a great 24:48 parlour with circular backing gate This is very much a hands-on role and you would be expected to lead from the front. Experience in foot trimming, AI and grazing management are essential along with great stock husbandry and record keeping. Experience and confidence are also essential qualities for this role as it is a satellite unit, so the successful candidate needs to be capable of dealing with all the challenges dairy farming throws at you without necessarily the support of an on-farm owner. There is a fantastic 5-bedroom family home on-farm which is centrally heated and close to good schools and local amenities. This is a great opportunity for someone who relishes the opportunity to take on the autonomy of running their own dairy unit, but with the support locally from the overall owner. For an informal discussion please call Rob Stephenson on. No overseas applicants without a work visa
