Meadow Downs Ashburton, New Zealand
We are looking for someone to join our team in the next few weeks Our farm has been running with 3 full time staff with support from relief staff but as we move into the next chapter in our farming operations we believe we have room for a herd manager to come on board.  Our farm is located 10 minutes from Ashburton township towards Methven. We milk 600 crossbred cows with a spring calving.  A bit about our farm 50 bail rotary shed, with in shed feeding. ACRs Auto plant wash Halter collars with health monitoring, auto drafting & mating system Farm irrigated with pivots, plus a handful of klines We are looking for someone who is honest and is a team player- we all work together. Someone who can listen! Must be physically fit and enjoys being outdoors. Within our team you will be well supported in your role. With being a self contained unit there is always something different to be done but we are a dairy farm so milking cows is still apart of the job....
