We are seeking an experienced calf rearer for the coming calving season. Must be available the first week of August 2026 until Mid September 2026. Longer if you have additional skills
THIS IS A JOB FOR ONE PERSON ONLY AND MUST HAVE VISA
BASED IN GORE SOUTHLAND - PLEASE LOOK ON MAP BEFORE APPLYING - PREVIOUS FARMING EXPERIENCE PREFERRED
We calve down 550 cows rearing approx 170 replacements. The remainder of calves, being sold at 4 days old to the bobby market. We have a very compact calving over the first 3 weeks so this is quite a busy time therefore previous farming experience is preferred.
The applicant must have a good attitude, willing to learn, and the ability to work efficiently unsupervised.
Calf rearing will take 3-5 hours a day - the rest of your day will involve odd jobs around the farm and will be dependent on your ability to complete other tasks inside and out. If you have tractor driving experience or can milk - this is an added bonus and likely to lead to more hours. We can not promise any more than 20-30hrs per week
We do all our own AG work so if you have the skills plenty of hours of that (ground conditions dependent)
You will be on a casual agriculture contract at minimum wage of $25.00 NZD plus holiday pay 8%. Shared accommodation with family.
Must have the right to work in NZ. Driving license a plus.
