Herd Manager

We require a self-motivated and accomplished herd manager to run all elements of a modern and progressive dairy farm near Chester.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Managing the day-day running of the high yielding herd
• Staff management
• Herd health & fertility
• Record keeping

The farm has a recently installed herringbone parlour with ACRs, milk meters, auto shedding gate and backing gate, to milk the 300 high yielding Holstein cows.  Modern cow housing and new machinery make this a very efficient farm with excellent working conditions.

The successful candidate must have previous experience on a similar farm, be able to think for themselves, motivate and challenge staff and work alongside the owner running this successful business.

In return we offer a competitive salary with bonus schemes, lovely on-farm 3-bed family accommodation with garden, that is close to all local amenities, free from rent and council tax and the opportunity to be a key part in a successful and progressive business.
