▷ Apply Now Mixed Livestock Stockperson

5 days ago

Naracoorte, Australia Drover Ag Full time

The Role

Operating on 3,000 ha, this long-held family enterprise is seeking a stock person to join its close-knit team. Embracing technology to support data-based decision-making, it currently manages 900 cows and 4,500 composite ewes.

Ideally, with experience in a similar previous role, you will report directly to the farm manager and assist in undertaking all animal husbandry tasks, farm infrastructure, and machinery repair and maintenance. The herd primarily comprises Angus-based cattle with autumn calving to produce weaner steers.

Utilising EIDs to monitor the commercial flock, they are rotationally grazed and managed in breeding groups for prime and store lamb production. Infrastructure includes undercover sheep yards constructed in recent years. All stock movements are completed with quads or SBS making it advantageous for applicants to have their own quality working dogs for this purpose.

Continual improvement is sought to ensure the optimum performance of pastures, stock, and cropping programs. Technology, including Agriwebb, Trutest, and water reticulation monitoring systems, is also utilised where possible to assist in the overall management and improvement of the operation.

This position is designated for a mixed livestock stockperson; however, our client is open to discussing opportunities with candidates with limited livestock experience who possess relevant skills from a family farming background or other transferable experiences. A strong, positive attitude is a crucial requirement for this role.

The Offer

The successful candidate will have comfortable accommodations in a two-bedroom home just nine kilometres from the farm. This private residence features gardens and one bathroom. Additionally, a generous salary will be offered based on your skills and experience, along with other benefits to be negotiated.

Naracoorte and Penola are less than a 30-minute drive away, providing convenient access to all amenities and partner employment opportunities.

The Ideal Candidate

Previous farming experience is beneficial, but a willingness to learn and grow is also essential. The following qualifications and attributes are desired:

- Strong skills with livestock or a passion to learn
- Own working dog(s) (advantageous, or willingness to obtain within 6 months)
- Mechanical aptitude and fabrication skills with machinery - highly regarded
- General farm maintenance skills, including fencing
- A Truck license would be beneficial, or a willingness to obtain one
- Chemical certificate (or willingness to obtain)
- Lifetime Ewe qualification (or willingness to obtain)

Register your interest

If you feel that you're the right fit for this position, please submit an up-to-date resume along with the contact details of 3 references. Preference will be given to those who supply a cover letter addressing their suitability - that is, tell us what you love about the role and how you think you're the right fit.
