About Us

Irongate Wagyu is the largest West Australian–owned 100% Fullblood Wagyu stud, proudly operating since 2005. We are a vertically integrated Wagyu business, taking our livestock all the way from breeding through to beef sales. As a family-owned and operated enterprise, we are committed to excellence in genetics, animal welfare, and staff development.


The Role

  • Collecting DNA samples, identifying gender and dam, applying ear tags and NLIS devices, recording weights, and administering animal health treatments
  • Supporting cows with calving difficulties
  • Maintaining the calf-rearing facility and feeding poddy calves, including hand-raising and observation
  • Participating in broader farm work such as feeding, silage production and carting, stock movements, water checks, and property maintenance as required

Good Things to Know

  • We are a vertically integrated Fullblood Wagyu operation, family owned and operated, with our cattle going right through to beef sales
  • Excellent track record of long-term staff retention
  • A growing and expanding business, including new value-added Wagyu products
  • You will join a respected, professional team with a strong workplace culture
  • We place a high priority on work health and safety

About You

You will have:

  • Proven experience riding a quad bike or motorbike (essential)
  • Experience with cattle (highly desirable)
  • Practical farm experience, including maintenance skills
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to work under pressure
  • Excellent communication skills — able to record information clearly, follow instructions accurately, and work effectively within a team
  • A team-oriented approach, while also capable of working independently
  • An Australian manual driver's licence and experience towing a trailer (essential)
  • The ability to "read the play" and anticipate livestock needs
  • Initiative, flexibility, and problem-solving ability
  • Physical fitness and good health to meet the demands of the role
  • Legal entitlement to work in Australia (essential)
  • Willingness to use your own mobile phone for on-farm data recording (a work phone can be provided if preferred)

Please note: No accommodation is provided with this role.


Why Join Us

  • Family-owned, values-driven workplace with supportive team culture
