FACT SHEET

LOCATION: The farm is situated near Smallfield which has good general facilities.  The town of Horley is nearby with a choice of primary schools, village shops and facilities.  The larger, popular town of Crawley is about 8 miles away with secondary schools and colleges and a huge selection of shops and amenities.

THE FARM: The unit is part of a large farming operation, approximately 850 cows in three herds, on units that are fairly close together.  The farms are all well-equipped and very well maintained and mostly self-contained for all field work, forage production/harvest and muck/dirty water disposal. The owners are all actively involved in the running of the farms.

THE UNIT: The unit comprises of a 16:32 DTL herringbone parlour. The dairy facility is tidy, spacious, and in good working order, with investment made to maintain cubicles, parlour, heifer housing and vet/AI facilities. More recently the investment has been in auto foot bathing and Cow Manager Activity system to aid heat detection.   The silage clamps/feeding area complete the facilities and provide a good working environment containing both cows and all heifer replacements. 

THE DAIRY HERD: Approximately 350 crossbred cows block calved over 10 weeks from the end of August. Yields are around 7000 litres/cow, and the focus of production is margin/litre and overall profit.  Support is available on this well staffed farm.  Once calving and serving are over, the focus is on production from forage/grazing and as time with the herd permits, maintenance and improvements on the unit.  

ACCOMMODATION: An attractive 3-bedroom semi-detached cottage is available, it is very near the unit, in a pleasant spot on the farm grounds.  The cottage is free from rent, rates and the farmer pays for the council tax.

REMUNERATION: Subject to negotiation, this is a well-paid position depending on age and experience.

TIME OFF: 90 days off per contract year.

SUMMARY: The unit is very well run, and importance is placed on teamwork and eliminating stress on the cows and the team!  This is a farm with a very happy working environment that would suit an ambitious person looking to work with excellent people and establish and progress their career with an emphasis on welfare, fertility, attention to detail and teamwork.
