The vacancy
What are we looking for?
This family farm in South Tipperary milks 150 crossbred cows in a 16-unit deLaval herringbone parlour, and has spring calves.
The infrastructure of this farm was significantly improved in 7 years ago, and that’s nice to work with.
There is a lot of dry grassland around the farm, the cows are outside 200+ days a year. Ideal, right?
We are looking for someone who has a few years experience on a dairy farm and is ready for the next step.
The day to day operations are left to you and that is why you know better than anyone what, how and when to do what.
There is one other colleague present at the farm, but he would like to take a step back when you come.
But you certainly don’t have to do everything alone, you work with relief staff and contractors.
The focus in this position is on milking, animal husbandry and grass management. And that’s why you’re good at these things!
