Job Description

 

We are looking for someone to join our team at our autumn calving dairy farm in Oxfordshire. We operate a 600 cow cross bred herd which calves from mid Aug to end of Oct, grazes for 24 hours daily from April to September and are housed on sand bedded cubicles for the winter months. Milking takes place through a 60 point rotary parlour resulting in sensible milking times. The farm is well invested with excellent facilities and is an enjoyable place to work with good staff retention. We are looking for someone to help with milking and depending upon experience the other roles associated with the care of dairy cows and young stock. We are very pleased to invest in our staff and professional training will be provided if required (for instance in DIY AI or foot trimming). The role would suit a college/Uni leaver, someone wanting to further their experience of dairy cows or someone wanting a stable, secure future in milk production. Placement students are also welcome to apply. Good, three bedroomed accommodation is provided with the role.
