The role offers a varied, hands-on opportunity within a progressive livestock enterprise. We currently block calve around 350 cattle in March/April and 75 in September/October, breed from our own replacement heifers, and buy cattle in to finish, including at least 200 rearing calves on machines.

• Weigh, vaccinate and handle livestock safely and confidently.
• Maintain clean, safe and well-presented yards, feed troughs, water points, facilities and equipment.
• Work closely with the Livestock Manager and wider team to ensure high standards across the enterprise.

What We Are Looking For

• 3 to 5 years' previous experience in a similar stock handling or livestock role.
• A strong eye for detail and a genuine commitment to animal health and welfare.
• Good physical fitness and confidence working outdoors in all weather conditions.
• A valid manual driving licence.
• A telehandler ticket is desirable, but not essential, as training can be provided.

What We Offer

• A competitive salary package, based on experience.
• Accommodation available.
• Modern buildings, equipment and machinery.
• A well-run working environment with high welfare standards across the whole herd.
• The opportunity to be part of an experienced and supportive agricultural team.
