Farm Hand – Sheep & Livestock (Live-On Farm)

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

• Strong learning environment

Location

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