Job description

Curtis Hulme farm are on the hunt for a herdsperson to join our farm team. 🐮
Genuine reason for advertising as our current herdsperson will be going on maternity leave early next year. The role will begin by working alongside Emily in managing all elements of the herd for a smooth handover and will transition to the role full time.
