Matakana Dairy is in search for a 2IC for our beautifully laid out dairy farm in Rotherham North Canterbury. Our 100Ha effective farm is fully pivoted with a 32 aside herringbone shed with ACR and manual teat spray. Due to our current employee leaving to be closer to family we are seeking someone who will work well within our family team, will put the needs and welfare of our cows first and can think on their feet. Our 340 cow farm is mostly grassed based with high milk production reaching above 500m/s a cow and we pride ourselves on a low SCC, we are lucky to have our run off block located only 1km down the road for winter grazing. Our farm is run with three staff units to give flexibility in the daily routine and family work life balance. The successful applicant will have good grass base knowledge and be driven for success. You will be responsible for treating of animals, environment, maintenance, weed control etc. The accommodation is a warm north facing three bedroom house with two living rooms and a large outdoor area and small paddock. Our farm is located just 1km away from the amazing local primary school, and a 10 min drive (or you can catch the school bus) to the local Area school located in Culverden.
All applicants MUST already be in NZ and hold a current drivers licence.
