Most farm jobs look the same. This one doesn’t.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys working with livestock — particularly sheep — and wants to build real capability on a well-run, developing farm.

You’ll work closely with an experienced Farm Manager in a small team where standards are high and good work is noticed.

About the Role

You’ll be involved in:

- sheep handling and animal care

- pasture and irrigation management

- fencing, maintenance, and infrastructure

- machinery operation

This is not a “helper” role — you’ll be trusted with responsibility and expected to take ownership.

Why This Role is Different

You won’t just repeat the same tasks season after season.

You’ll gain exposure across a diverse operation, including:

- composite ewe base and feedlot

- modern sheep yards

- pivot irrigation and precision pasture equipment

The focus is on developing a well-rounded operator, not just a task-based worker.

Working dogs are strongly encouraged if you have them or want to build your own team.

Training & Development

This is a role for someone who wants to learn and grow.





You’ll receive hands-on training in livestock, machinery, and farm operations, along with support for relevant off-farm training eg. telehandler course.

What We’re Looking For

You:

- enjoy working with sheep and livestock

- are reliable and take pride in your work

- communicate early and take responsibility

- want to learn and improve

The Reality

- early starts and long days at times, and then flexibility at other times

- priorities shift with seasons and livestock

If you want a 9–5 job, this isn’t it.
If you enjoy the lifestyle, you’ll love it here.

What’s Provided

- On-farm accommodation (new self-contained cottage, great for a single or couple)

- Tools and equipment

- Stable, full-time role

- Robust learning environment

Location

Crofton Park – Barfold VIC
(15 mins from Kyneton / Heathcote) (1.5hr from Melbourne)
