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 (recent self-contained cottage, great for a single or couple)
Tools and equipment
Stable, full-time role
Solid learning setting

Location

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