Herdsperson
Milton Abbas, Dorset – Ref: SOweb2471
We have new contract vacancy for a very experienced herdsperson to take the day-to-day control of 350 Organic autumn block calving Friesians as one of 4 x dairies on a family owned and managed 2,500-acre estate in North Dorset.
The herd is milked via a very modern Fullwood 24 x 48 herringbone parlour with in-parlour feeders. Housed cows have access to sand cubicles with tractor scraped passages and are fed a TMR consisting of whole crop and grass silages.
The appointed person, with a full-time assistant, will be expected to take an interest in the day-to-day herd management to include extensive March to November grazing and help maintain a tight autumn block calving pattern.
A competitive package to go along with a brand new 3-bedroom semi-detached house on farm, is on offer, to compliment a work life balance of 9-hour days and regular time off to suit any candidate.
