The Role
We are seeking an enthusiastic, tech-savvy Farm Hand to join the team at 'Yattendon', a 4,000-acre enterprise operating near Coolah, NSW. Working alongside an experienced and supportive Farm Manager, you will play a hands-on, integral role in driving daily livestock handling, intensive pasture production, lucerne and oat cropping, and comprehensive farm infrastructure maintenance to support our high-performing agricultural operations.
Your duties will encompass low-stress stock handling using side-by-side buggies and working dogs while managing a livestock program comprising 400 Angus breeders (with select heifers joined to Wagyu bulls) and 1,500 Merino ewes (joined for prime lamb production), along with operating cattle crush setups and sheep handlers equipped with integrated weigh scales and EID readers. Operating across annual sales targets—including approximately 2,000 crossbred and Merino prime lambs, 380-400 head of cattle (spanning feeder steers, PTIC heifers, and cull cows), and 9,500 kg of wool from bi-annual shearing—you will systematically collect and monitor livestock data such as daily weight gains and NLIS records.
On the cropping side, you will operate modern tractor setups equipped with GPS auto-steer, A-B line guidance, and rate-controlled spray and sowing implements to establish oats, lucerne, and high-yielding finish pastures.
Additionally, you will fully integrate modern digital management systems into your daily routine by checking Trello task boards each morning to organise workflow, synchronizing crush-side weigh sessions and treatments into StockMate and AgriWebb,



and continuously monitoring automated water network sensors via Farmbot to ensure optimal livestock welfare and operational efficiency.
