Slagnaw Farming Limited are on the lookout for an enthusiastic and hard working individual to join our dairy team.

We are a progressive dairy farm just outside of Castle Douglas, currently milking 700 cows 3x per day through a 60 point DeLaval Rotary Parlour. All fertility and foot trimming is done in house.
We strive to produce high quality milk, with a focus on herd health and welfare, whilst creating a positive working environment for our staff.

The role is varied and will involve tasks such as milking, assisting with day to day herd management, as well as the opportunity to be involved with calf rearing and youngstock management.
The role is aimed at someone who would like to develop their skills, learn new ones, and progress their career as a dairy person.

Our successful applicant must have a passion for working with dairy cows, be a team player, have a strong work ethic and a willingness to take responsibility.
Experience is preferred, but training can be given, and opportunities for training in AI and/or foot trimming can also be provided. Being keen to learn is essential.

We will offer a competitive salary based on experience, and a good work/life balance. No accommodation is available with this role. A full driving license will be required.

If you wish to apply, please email: [email protected]
Please do not message the page.

Thanks in advance.

His hard work, dedication to perfection and loyalty has, in no small part, contributed to the smooth running and continued growth and improvement of the farm. Thankyou David, for everything you do.
