Herdsman wage

[bradaz89]

Hello after looking for a new job as a herdsman, was wondering what to expect as a wage, I don't really know what's good, been offered a job every other weekend and a day off in the week with a house, whats a fair wage???? At the moment i work 6 day a week, every other weekend off but no house at just under 600 a week,

How many cow's? How many hours? 25/28,k

 

[bradaz89]

250 cows, Autumn block, between 8 and 10 depends time of the year

Would of thought what your on plus a house would be fair.
Most herdsman are on 30k plus, plus a house around here.

Herdmanager? Assistant? Scraper driver? There's a fair range in package. 600 a week is not that great without a house.

A herdsman, me left alone with the cows and him to do his cheese making, me selecting bulls and ai etc,

Fair enough, what @dinderleat said.

Needs to be 30k plus house in my opinion.

Surely it depends on your experience? Theres a big difference between someone who has been working with cows since school, ai'd thousands of cows and can calf a cow with their eyes closed than someone who has relief milked and done a bit of scraping up with a ai certificate. 30k + a house is alot of money for someone who is potentially unproven and could do a lot of damage.

edit : I dont mean any offence with this comment, you could be top notch and probably are but theres a huge range of abilities between herdsman.

Quality of life is more important than money after a point. You all end up in the same size box at the end of it all regardless of how much you've earnt.

That's only because your looking for someone

But yes that's why a house on the farm with the job is essential cut down on pointless traveling.

Mine will probably need to be bigger than most though

Mine will probably need to be bigger than most though

And that will cost extra

Depends on location wages seem to vary(going by previous threads) greatly depending on area/location.
