Welbatch Farm is 5 minutes south of Shrewsbury, Shropshire. We are an autumn-block calving farm milking 300 cows through a 40:80 swing-over parlour selling our milk to Muller on a TSDG aligned contract. Cows graze from February to October and are housed full time November to mid-February. We calve over an 11-week block from late August. All cows calve outside. R2s (bulling heifers) are out-wintered on deferred grass and bales. The cows have Sense Hub heat detection collars used for breeding.

Our vision is simple: "Care for the cows; care for the team; leave the farm in a better place."

We are a resilient, progressive and profitable dairy business where:
1. People and cows enjoy their days
2. We produce high-quality milk in the most cost-effective way
3. We continuously improve everything we do

Our culture is built around animal welfare, teamwork, pride in our farm, minimising waste, and constant improvement.

We are now seeking a capable and motivated individual to become second-in-command, working closely with Farm Owner, Sarah Howie, to help lead the day-to-day management of the farm.
