Ideal position for a Working Holiday Visa We are seeking an energetic and willing to learn person to help rear calves on our farm situated between Ashburton and Methven in Mid Canterbury. The ideal candidate will be someone who is looking for an experience, to work hard, to learn, and feel proud of the reward of seeing the calves grow and flourish in our environment. 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. 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. We operate a 6 on 1 off roster for 6 weeks, and then 5 on 2 off when work load eases. Situated 30 minutes to Mt Hutt Ski field, and 1 hour to Christchurch
