They've been going 70 years. Nice and tidy place, with good stuff.

I have a vague idea, I'm assuming it will very much be routine. Much like any other job I've done. But maybe getting a day or so in first would be a good idea.

I don't mind, that said I'm not sure they even have the tools to do it. Unless they buy them that is!!

Yes, but I only live a mile away. Would only go home for the 2 hour lunch.

It is yes, by about 7k, that said I'm currently well underpaid I'm my current job, I think anyway. I currently work 5 1/2 days a week, only getting of Sunday and half of Saturday.

Correct. Full hours, and not often a weekend.

They are all full time.

Not sure. I believe they milk twice a day. Everyone does The same hours. But only four people working each day.

Good or bad thing?

Reckon it won't be all that busy? And I'm an expert in looking busy!!!

They have had a lot of applications, but as I'm local, 1 mile from the farm, and I guess come across well, and not shy of getting stuck in it must have struck a chord. They have 450 head of cows, and roughly 3000 acres. With 5 others on the rota. I guess everyone must start somewhere to gain...

I'm hoping so. I get the fact I'm new to it all, bit I also know it's all too easy to accept it going in, then find it difficult to get a raise from them on.

The weekend part I get. It's not too much of a problem for me. My daughter s are teen-agers who now mainly want money and in permission to do things!! We do plan things together too. And I don't really have a lot else going on that I'd miss dearly. 6 and 2 is also ok, I do 6 days a week as it...

The main herdsman. Who is the owners son. But there are 5 other herdsman.

Yes it's not bad at all. But still good factoring in not taking the house?

I mean it's not terrible, and I've been on far worse. It's a good few more hours than a standard week, bit that's farming right!!. But the 6 on 2 off is the bit that makes me think it's got to be worth it.

I do want to do the job, and they seem like great people, and yes close to home, and normally I would agree, that money isn't everything, but weather I like it or not, it sort of is!! I mean everything costs.

Hi all, I have been offered a job as a dairy herdsman, 5am start, Breakfast at 9 for 45mins. 2 hour lunch at 1pm, and 5:30 finish. Rota is 6 days on 2 days off. so I have little to no experience with cows, but I do work on farms a fair bit as an agg tyre fitter, so not shy of hard work. (This...

Well, evening all. I see it's been posted numerous times, but I always figure nothing ventured nothing gained. I'm 32, have been detecting for a good few years, I have a few small permissions with carterton town council, and a good rapport with them, however the permissions are only small , and...
