Feed animals the right ration at the right time
Move animals between camps or pens calmly
Record births, deaths and treatments in the herd book
Keep water troughs and drinkers working
Help the vet with vaccinations and treatments
Clean pens, houses and milking equipment

Must-haves

Gentle and patient with animals
Comfortable around large animals
Willing to work early mornings, weekends and public holidays on rotation
South African ID or a legal work permit

On offer

Training in animal health
Milk or meat rations
Farm housing on site

How to apply for this job

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): references from previous farms plus any animal health course certificates.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Bellville.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

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.
