An exciting and rare opportunity has arisen to join the team on a 300-cow block calving system situated between Preston and Blackpool in Lancashire. The well managed and business focused farm has enjoyed excellent staff retention over the years and has a reputation for developing and caring for their team with a flexible approach and working practices enabling a great work life balance for the owners and the staff. Profitable milk production through focused grazing management, efficient targeted feeding when necessary and strong attention to detail in fertility and herd health are at the core of what the farm is all about. The herd - split into a predominantly autumn block with around 90 cows calving in the spring - is grazed on a platform extending out from the rear of the unit with an excellent network of tracks. The unit itself has enjoyed investment over the years including a 20/40 Dairymaster parlour with ACRs, cluster flush and semi rapid exit bailing, walk over post dip, 3-way shedding gate and excellent handling facilities. Plenty of cubicle space in light airy sheds for when cows are housed and automatic feeders for calves. Working alongside the owners and team, the role would entail elements of day-to-day management of the herd, liaising with the hands-on owners and consultants, milking, general herd health and fertility work and grazing management amongst other tasks. You will embrace the efficient practices and routines the farm has adopted whilst bringing new thoughts and ideas to further drive profitability. You will have experience in a similar role and system, an interest in milk from pasture and be motivated by cost of production figures rather than other results. Strong communication skills, a committed team player and a dedication to the animals in your care are a must. In return for your efforts we offer a competitive salary, regular time off and a large 3-bedroom family home on farm free of rent and council tax and close the local amenities, and the northwest motorway network. For an informal discussion please contact Ian Lindsay on . No overseas applicants without a work visa For a full list of our current vacancies please visit our website at
