Ideal position for a Working Holiday Visa
We are seeking an energetic and willing to learn person to help rear calves and assist with day to day farming tasks on our farm situated between Ashburton and Methven in Mid Canterbury.

Being physically fit is an advantage, at times with being able to lift a large calf. This position includes ensuring every calf receives sufficient colostrum, and being taught to feed on a calf feeder. Getting cows in from the paddocks, assisting in the cowshed with animal health tasks, and general farm duties.
The ability to drive a 5 speed manual vehicle would be a bonus. More hours could be available on farm if you were able to drive a 2 wheel motorbike safely.
