Herdsperson/2IC-North Leicestershire-300 grazing cows on brand new unit-RSweb2728
East Midlands
Job Summary
A fantastic opportunity has arisen to join a small enthusiastic team milking 300 mainly Friesian x Holstein cows in the picturesque county of Leicestershire. Job Skills
We require a very enthusiastic and versatile assistant to help run the farm and maximise the amount of milk obtained from grazed grass. The successful candidate will have previous experience on dairy farms and maintain very high standards in their work. Responsibilities include milking once a day, feeding, and scraping in conjunction with the manager. Candidates must be able to think independently and be highly motivated. Foot trimming and AI experience is preferable but not essential. Job Description
The herd is milked through a brand-new 24:48 herringbone parlour with ACR’s, feeders, and a circular backing gate. Cows are paddock grazed for as long as the weather permits (generally February – November) and housed in a brand-new cubicle shed during the winter, where they are fed a semi TMR. Regular grass measuring takes place weekly, and all data is inputted onto software to create a grass wedge. The herd is a late spring block and all calved to beef, keeping a simple system for everyone. In return for your efforts, we offer a highly competitive salary with bonus schemes, regular time off, and accommodation free from rent and council tax. The available house is a lovely 3-bedroom cottage next to the farm, which is double glazed and has central heating. For an informal conversation, please ring
