Livestock Handler (Cattle Feedlot)

You'll feed, milk and care for animals on a piggery near Mogwase, every day of the year. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is Mogwase-based, with most of your time spent at a piggery. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Record births, deaths and treatments in the herd book
• Follow biosecurity rules like foot baths and clean overalls
• Milk cows in the parlour following the milking routine
• Feed animals the right ration at the right time
• Help the vet with vaccinations and treatments
• Collect eggs or check broiler house temperatures

• Reliable, since animals depend on you
• Follows hygiene and biosecurity rules
• Willing to work early mornings, weekends and public holidays on rotation
• South African ID or a legal work permit
• Gentle and patient with animals

• Animal health or AgriSETA short course
• Supervisory experience for foreman roles

• Production bonus on milk yield or growth targets
• Farm housing on site
• Training in animal health

• For foreman roles, mention how many workers you supervised and what you were in charge of.
• Say which animals you have worked with and for how long. Farmers want someone who already knows the routine.
