Dairy Goat Farm Assistant Unique opportunity to be involved in a small and growing industry. We seek an enthusiastic person to join our small team to help run our 1250 Dairy Goat operation near Morrinsville, Waikato. The right person would have some prior Dairy experience, machinery experience would be an advantage but is not essential and would be happy to work in a small team. We are prepared to train the right person with the skills required. Remuneration will depend on what you can bring to our business immediately. Applicants for this position should have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa Accommodation provided, 1 bedroom house. The owners are genuine, fully supportive and reward performance.

Herd Manager Role available We Dairy farm at TePirita 15 minutes from Rakaia (Canterbury)and are a self-contained unit doing all young stock and winter crops on farm. We are an efficient productive unit that is also trying to be different to many farms in two ways. Firstly we are trying to get the hours of work down so that people can have a life outside the farm. This means our roster has regular 7:30 starts every rotation and we can run a one person shed so milking hours and frequency are also minimized. Secondly we are genuinely focused on preparing people for a career in the Dairy industry by making training a priority on farm and teaching the things that a course does not. (Although the team all do AGITO training as well). Not saying we have it nailed yet but it’s our second season on this farm and we have one employee heading to his first contract job and we expect to have our second ready for a 2IC role by the end of next season. If we can continue to attract good people with great attitudes then we will keep helping them develop into damn good farmers which coincidently is what this industry is short of. Great careers ahead for people who genuinely want to be good at their craft. (Particularly inside the Craigmore Company we work for) We are looking to add a 6th person to our team milking 1150 cows through a 60 rotary with all the fruit. This is a Herd Manager role needing 2-3 years’ experience and a driver’s license, with the ability to do the basics being essential. No pretenders need apply as my team will expect you to deliver the skills you say you can. Our system works because everyone contributes. If interested please email Teawa@craigmore.com with your details and a brief CV or ring Shaun on 0274826600

We have two 50/50 Share farming jobs available starting on the first of June 2020. Both farms are running kiwi cross cows which will be available for purchase. We would consider vender finance on the cows for the right people. Both farms are Autumn/Winter calving using LIC kiwicross genetics. The first farm is milking 200 a2/a2 cows in a fourteen aside herringbone shed with cup removers and an auto feed system. The farm is 269 rolling acres with a 90 acre lease block for young stock available. The farm is located five minutes from Korumburra, a small regional town located in South Gippsland.  The second farm is milking 400 cows in a thirty aside herringbone shed with cup removers and an auto feed system. The farm is 620 rolling acres with a 100 acre lease block available for young stock. The farm is located 15 minutes from Korumburra.  The owners are a New Zealand couple looking to move back to New Zealand to be closer to family after living overseas for 13 years. With the owners being absent from the farm the share farmers would have to be self motivated and independent. Please send any CVs or enquires to Tony and Tina at hardcastletina@ymail.com
