Job Details

Assistant Herdsperson - 350 Cows
Uttoxeter, Derbyshire – Ref: ILweb2495

We require an experienced and dedicated herdsperson on a 350-cow unit located between Uttoxeter and Derby. The exceptionally tidy and well-maintained farm has enjoyed investment over recent years in terms of parlour - a 24/48 GEA, cubicle housing and general infrastructure. The Holstein herd is predominantly autumn calving and enjoys enviable yields milked twice per day. 

The role would entail working alongside the herd manager, taking responsibility when he is off, undertaking milkings, general herd health and welfare and fertility tasks alongside general farm work when required. 

You would be a senior member of an established team which regularly includes placement students from Ag colleges and Vet schools. The successful candidate will have experience in a similar role, show dedication to the herd and will be seeking to take on responsibility. 

AI and foot trimming experience and facilities would be highly desirable. In return for your efforts, we offer a highly competitive package with excellent time off plus a beautiful well-appointed large 4-bedroom cottage, on site, free of rent and council tax.
