Job Details
We are seeking a livestock enthusiast who would complete the team on a progressive farm near the picturesque village of Litcham. The unit is running with an emphasis on forage/grazing and set to run with a sister unit with 360 crossbred cows block calving in the autumn period on each site. There is an excellent mix of responsibilities which includes milking, fertility, grassland management on the original unit with TMR feeding and associated stock work across the two.
The herds are managed on a forage-based system with the housed period on sand cubicles with semi TMR feeding; the yields are around 8,500 litres a cow. Milking is through a superb 24:48 parlour, DTL with ACR’s, complete with auto shedding, heat time and state of the art handling facilities; the building project has been finished off excellent calf rearing facilities, silage clamps and feedstores which cater for both units.
This position offers the benefit of a seasonal workload and hence much easier summer months, along with a good three-bedroom house, on the unit, an excellent remuneration package and regular time off.
If you are looking for a challenging team role with a future, can offer a solid foundation of stockmanship, consistency and attention to detail, please contact James Picot on 07802 596633 for more details.
