Some help on salaries please

Sounds like they want a tyre fitter in between milking

 

[buffalo_soldier]

It's certainly a transferable skill for here

I'm sure dairying will offer a lot more variety than tyre fitting 51/2 days a week in week out tho.

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

Correct. Full hours, and not often a weekend.

It sounds a little like every working day will be the same with you doing mostly routine jobs, have you found out what your day will involve?
Any chance you could do a Sunday for them before you leave your current job, just so you know what you're letting yourself in for?

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.

Sounds like a good amount with no experience. If it’s a good manager and you are willing you could pick up a lot of skills if you are interested in cows. Give it a go.

Mobile tire repair is a hard gig I have not seen many do it for very long.

If it's a career your interested in, go for it.

If things don't go the way you hope in future, there is plenty of demand for good dairymen.

What on earth do you do with the sheep everyday to make them busier than a dairy farm?

Maybe we don't need to know...

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 experience!

If theres five herdsmen farmer son and farmer and you they wont be in buisness long cus they will run out of money.To take that staff to run 450 cow would be my guess a kip with poor facilities id stay well clear

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