Dairy Farm Assistant
Job Summary
Job Description
Our current backpacker is continuing her travels, so we’re looking for someone to join our team.
This is an entry-level role paying 25 an hour, and no previous dairy experience is needed. You’ll help milk around 800 cows through a modern 60-bail rotary, with automatic cup removers, drafting, Protrack and Halter collars for virtual fencing and health monitoring.
The work is mainly around milking time: 5am–8am and 2pm–5pm, approximately 25–30 hours a week. The roster is 5 days on, 2 days off, leaving plenty of time to explore the region between milkings and on your days off.
Furnished shared accommodation is available in a two-bedroom house for 150 a week, including power.
If you’re reliable, keen to learn and enjoy working with animals, get in touch.
