Job Details

We have a contract vacancy for an enthusiastic experienced herdsperson or couple to work alongside the farmer on a 300 cow herd increasing to 350 organic cows in Dorset. 
The farm is part of a mixed farming enterprise that is family managed and operated, running 3 organic dairy herds on Waitrose contracts.  This herd will be milked in a new 20-40 Fullwood parlour with ACR’s, with all new handling facilities and updated housing.
The herd is autumn calving with maximum production from grazing when conditions allow and a Grass based TMR while housed. Cubicle housing is available with sawdust beds over mattresses.  
The appointed person is expected to be a team player easy going and capable of working alone as required. Help is available at all times especially peaks in work load, AI and foot trimming are an advantage but clean milk production is a priority.
The position is for a couple, or 2 people who can live and work together.
A new 2 bed Lodge on the unit is supplied alongside a competitive salary.
