Hi team we have just recently had our staff member decide to move on to a family farm. This this has created a great opportunity for a DRIVE IN ROLE on short notice for an individual or couple to join the team from 1st August. The farm is a family farm with myself in an owner operator system. We are a team focused family farm with opportunities to progress and grow, this is a high achieving, happy and healthy minded workplace We have 440 cows on farm producing over 600 milk solids per cow with great infrastructure. The farm is near Foxton (Manawatu) and has an excellent infrastructure: 36 aside herring bone with a smooth flowing automatic teat spraying cow shed. In shed feeding is used in conjunction with grass/maize silage and PKE in the paddock as required, running on a system 5 basis.
This is a well-structured farm with very good policies, procedures and guidelines in place. Percy Farms are currently seeking employment of a farm hand. There is also opportunity for couples with relief work available all season This is a great opportunity to progress your knowledge in a high input system on a pasture first basis. You will be given a range of responsibility from milking's to collecting and feeding calves to general farm tasks. . There are great working conditions centered around a strong Health and Safety work environment. Run on a 12 on 2 off roster and a 6 on 1 off roster over calving. An extra hand is also employed over the busy calving and mating period to reduce work load through the busy periods. (3 people/Day July-Nov).
Thanks
