We are a mixed farm in South Worcestershire near the Malvern Hills, milking 260 AYR calving cows housed in our 2016 green field dairy unit. They are milked through a 24:24 Herringbone parlour and we rear all of our own youngstock and carry out DIY AI.

Duties would include milking, AI and sire selection, footrimming (alongside our contract foot trimmer), transition management and other stock duties as required.

We expect applicants to enjoy cows, have excellent time-keeping, be reliable and honest, a good communicator and to possess both a good sense of humour and work ethic.
