We have an awesome 2.i.c role coming up next year working for a great owner operated farm near Balfour in beautiful Northern Southland. We milk 560 lovely Friesian cows through a 54 bail rotary shed with ACR's, auto teat spray and auto wash. This well established farm is 220 ha and all self contained with 2 run off blocks and a wintering barn.
This season has seen an exciting development within our farm as we have started down the path of becoming a stud farm. Running a 11/3 roster (accept for over calving) and only requiring each of the valued staff to milk once a day this farm has a lot to offer.
So what traits do we want?
- You need to be able to handle working for a switched on lady. (If taking instruction from women is not something you can handle then please do not apply)
- You will need at least 3 years experience and great references that will vouch for you and your ability.
- Attitude and a laid back personality is key, someone who enjoys having a laugh with their co workers but also not afraid to work hard either.
- It would be awesome if you are passionate about stud breeding, this takes a particular eye for detail.
- Must have a valid work visa in reside in NZ
- The ability to think forward and take on responsibility as required.
Ultimately we want someone who is keen to become part of our awesome local community for the long term. We have great schools, sports teams, young farmers and a lot to offer the right applicant. Our current staff member is great to get along with and a passionate recreational mechanic so if you enjoy tinkering with things you would fit in here. Accommodation located off the main dairy unit but within the overall farming unit.
