The herd comprises of mainly Pedigree Holstein Friesian cows which historically produced over 11,000 litres.  However, in the past few years, the farm have shifted to a late summer/autumn calving block with focus on fertility and getting milk from forage, the aim now is a sustainable 9500 litre cow.

5. 400 acres owned, 200 rented.

We are looking for someone who will fit into the team, who must have good cow knowledge and have been in a similar role in the past. 

Key responsibilities of the role will be milking, herd health and fertility, young stock and calves, vet routines and record keeping.  A.I and foot trimming experience is beneficial, but not essential.
