Job Description Our stunning 300 Ha dairy farm is located in the beautiful region of Central Otago but still only 30 minutes from Gore where you have everything you need, including shops, cafes, pubs, supermarkets, and schools. We are a family-owned farm, and we are still very hands-on. We are currently in need of a strong herd manager to come and join our awesome team. We consider ourselves to be fair employers and will put a lot of time and effort into training and developing the right person. Ideally, you will have a solid 2 - 3 years of experience under your belt. You must be able to drive a tractor and have good shed hygiene skills, pasture management, animal health, and anything else that will help you develop into an eventual 2IC role. Being located where we are, it is quite hilly, so you must be very competent on a motorbike, both 2 and 4 wheelers. The ideal person for this role would be someone with a good work ethic, great initiative who does not need to be micromanaged, can just get on with the job, and is happy to work unsupervised. We would like to see someone who has a level head, is calm in the shed, great with stock, and punctual. We work as a team around here, and we all pitch in. A full/provisional or full international license is required, and no criminal record. This is a drug and smoke-free farm; we like to look after our staff's wellbeing as much as our cows, so a healthy work-life balance is on offer. We guarantee a minimum of 30 hours per week and will negotiate a salary of between $29 - $32 per hour depending on experience. Accommodation Modern 3-bedroom house with heat pump; rent includes power and is valued at $300 per week – sorry, no pets.
