We currently have a superb opportunity for someone to join the management team on a very successful, well-established and well-invested dairy business.
The herd is entirely autumn block calved in 9 weeks. The cows can be housed in spacious modern sand bedded cubicles with very easy passage scraping and feed access. The grazing platform surrounds the unit and has been set up with all the necessary infrastructure to include well-maintained tracks, mains electric fencing, multiple entry and exit points and good water supply. Grass measurements and Agrinet are used for allocations.
The cows are milked through a 26/26 Rapid exit parlour with two milking at all times and can be undertaken in 3 hours each end of the day. Superb handling facilities create an efficient and safe working environment for cow work. The grass-based diet has no maize and the milk from forage rolling average is 4,500ltrs.
The successful candidate needs to be entirely cow focused with particular emphasis on herd health / welfare and fertility. AI and foot trimming skills will be important; however, training can be provided. This will be a leadership role and as such good communication, work ethic and man management traits will be vital.
We encourage the whole team to continue to develop, attend local discussion group meetings, dairy industry events as well as specific training for the role.
We have various quality housing options depending on family requirements and size, but all will have D/G and central heating and will be provided rent and council tax free. Generous time off and an industry leading salary are also on offer.
