This is a superb opportunity for someone with a proven record of hygienic milk production to join this family farming business and work with one of the industry’s top herd managers. Grass measuring ensures the grazing season is fully utilised indeed cows can be grazing for 10 months! You will be given the necessary encouragement and support to enable you to have a significant impact in this progressive and committed dairy unit. An appetite for maximising the use of grazed grass will be essential. We can offer an exceptional package - regular and reliable relief, a 3-bed semi-detached house with c/h and a brand-new kitchen free from rent, rates and c/tax and a salary to reflect the importance of the position.
