Job Details
We have a contract vacancy for a dairy enterprise manager at Aberystwyth university farm.
This newly built unit with 400 pedigree Holstein’s milked robotically, is looking for a hands on day to day manager.
The herd is gradually being improved by the current farm manager who needs a dedicated assistant to take control with full support, the target yield is in excess of 11,000 litres via 5 De-Laval robots, cows are fully housed in state of the art facilities and receiving ongoing investment to make it a thoroughly modern outfit.
The appointed person preferably will have good experience with high yielding Holstein cows or wishing to acquire it, be switched on technically to be able to understand the huge investment in technology, have an interest in Pedigree breeding as this herd is registered and classified with HUKI, and be a people person preferably with Welsh language skills.
This position will definitely have a work life balance with good time off to include alternate weekends and a day off per alternate week, with days not being long and arduous.
A 3 bed detached bungalow is available off the unit, while on unit houses are being updated, to go along with a competitive salary.
