We have an opportunity for a keen Farm Assistant to work alongside us (5th season sharemilkers) and our 2 senior herd managers in the beautiful Waitaki Region. Starting date for the full time role with accomodation is February 1st 2027, but we can organise drive in relief milking for November, December and January on one of our other farms 5 minutes down the road if wanted.
We run a 6 on 2 off roster all season long, and offer a salary package based on experience. A very cosy and warm 2 bedroom unit will be available from February 1st 2027. (currently being build on site and best suited to a single person or a young couple)
We milk a spring calving herd of 680 cross bred cows with a focus of fully feeding the cows. We milk them through a 46 aside herringbone shed twice a day. Your duties will include milking, cleaning up, vat wash, plant wash, assisting with break fencing, spraying weeds, irrigation. We are happy to train you up to assist with some tractor work like feeding out.
We are a happy team that works hard and enjoys being around our cows. We look after the farm making sure everything is clean and tidy.
We would like you to contact us if you are a positive person, physically fit, willing to learn, good at communicating and are just happy to be farming.
Cheers
