We are looking for an enthusiastic agriculturally minded person to join us for 6-12months on our dairy farm in NW Tasmania. For our last calving season we had some new and recently graduated students join us from various UK colleges and following on from this very positive experience we think we can provide a unique opportunity for someone else to come to work and learn with us.

We emigrated to Australia 2 years ago after many years farming in Wales. We are currently 50:50 share farming, milking 750 cows on the north west coast of Tasmania in an extensive spring calving system (NZ style). Calving starts in August (10w calving block). The position would start in July but we can accomodate someone starting earlier than this. This role would include all aspects of dairy farming; milking, bale feeding, calf rearing, disbudding and we also do all our own breeding programs and AI. It will also provide an opportunity to gain more experience in grass management.

We are very passionate about what we do, with high standards and a keen focus on cow health and welfare and are looking for someone with a good work ethic, attention to detail and a real passion for cows to join us. We also actively encourage learning and encourage participation in local discussion groups and training which run frequently through Dairy Tas.
