Bendigo, Australia Drover Ag Full time

Employer

Our clients operate four properties in central Victoria, covering a total of 4,500 acres. They specialise in composite self-replacing ewes. In addition to sheep farming, they engage in significant hay production and trade. They also allocate about 120 hectares for crop production. Their farming operations are supported by modern machinery, which includes JCB telehandlers, Fendt tractors, John Deere tractors, and Massey Ferguson inline balers equipped with bale barons. Additionally, they have a John Deere mower, a Fendt mower, and a Kuhn round baler.

The team consists of one full-time employee who has been with them for over two years, and the owners are hands-on and involved in the day-to-day operations. They typically also welcome backpackers / casual staff to assist during the hay-making season. They take pride in their operations and are dedicated to sustainable farming practices while maintaining a productive and supportive work environment.

Role

As Assistant Farm Manager, your role will involve a mix of responsibilities with a primary focus on sheep management. During peak seasons, all team members will be engaged in hay production. We aim to boost our sheep numbers and enhance profitability in this area.

Experience in sheep breeding and hay production would be an advantage. This position is well-suited for someone eager to take on greater responsibilities. Expect to work some weekends during busy periods such as lambing and hay harvest. Your duties will include monitoring pasture quality and assisting with the rotational grazing program while adhering to withholding periods. You will also be responsible for maintaining and repairing fences, water systems, and overall farm infrastructure. Key tasks will involve feeding, ensuring animal health, maintaining records, assisting with shearing and lambing, and operating various machinery, including tractors, balers, sprayers, and mowers.

Offer

A compensation package will be negotiated based on the candidate's skills and experience as will accommodation and a work vehicle.

The Location

The farm is located half an hour from Ballarat, half an hour from Maryborough, and Castlemaine, and one hour from Bendigo. It is also only one and a half hours from Melbourne. The farm location is a positive for families and spouses with work and education opportunities on the doorstep. School buses are available and public transport to Melbourne is a stone's throw away.

- Current Gun Licence
- HC Truck licence or the willingness to obtain
- Strong communication skills
- Adaptable and flexible to working in different areas of the business
