Experienced Farm Worker wanted for a 360 cow mixed family run dairy farm near Ilminster. As well as the dairy, the farm grows 450 acres of combinable crops, rears its own replacements and fattens beef calves. We also have 160 breeding ewes that lamb in the winter.
The farm handles most operations in house, so the role varies throughout the seasons. The job consists of a mixture of livestock and yard/tractor work (checking & moving stock at grass, cattle handling/treatments, feeding, scraping, bedding etc) and field tractor work (hauling trailers, slurry tanking, raking grass, powerharrowing, minimum tillage work etc) as well as some basic farm maintenance tasks (fencing, greasing machines etc).
Some previous experience with livestock as well as working with tractors is essential. The candidate must be able to work well with others and must enjoy working with cattle. Rates of pay will vary according to experience.
