Job description

  • Dynamic livestock-focused role with an expanding family company.
  • Suitable for someone with either interest in Stud or commercial cattle
  • Attractive salary package with training and career progression opportunities
The Role:
 
Arkle Farms is seeking a farmhand who is passionate about the cattle industry and interested in joining either the Stud enterprise or the commercial cattle operation. The property spans over 15,000 hectares and is divided into sectors, including 2000 commercial and 400 stud Angus breeders. While your primary responsibilities will depend on which sector you join, there is room for the right candidate to explore other facets of the expanding enterprise.
 
The successful cattle operation is looking to expand, and our clients require you to pay close attention to detail with ongoing AI and ET programs and cattle management. There is an incredible opportunity for you to learn from the team, and this company will support your growth and their successful business.
 
This role offers exposure to various opportunities within a dynamic agricultural setting. Arkle Farms values individuals who are eager to invest their skills and dedication. They are committed to investing in your professional growth and development, and it is ultimately up to the successful candidate to choose which sector they would like to join.
 
The Property & Employer:
 
Arkle Farms is a major family-owned enterprise with farming operations across Western Australia. Our client's enterprise comprises 43,800 hectares across four large-scale strategically located properties across picturesque Western Australia. This multi-faceted operation consists of broadacre cropping and livestock, operating modern and highly efficient equipment with an environmental and sustainability focus. This stud and commercial cattle operation is situated at Bedford Harbour, which is only a short drive to Hopetoun for essential services. 
 
The Offer:
 
Our clients offer a generous remuneration package of $35 - $40 an hour based on experience, including on-farm new accommodation appropriate to the candidate’s needs. A work ute will also be provided for work purposes. Hopetoun is the closest town to the property, which is 45 minutes away, with essentials and recreational activities. The nearest school is 28 minutes from Bedford Harbour, and work opportunities for partners are a short distance from the property. 
 
The Ideal Candidate:
 
The successful applicant will ideally possess a passion for cattle with the following attributes and skills:
  • Previous experience within stud & commercial cattle grazing operations.
  • Low-stress stock handling background
  • Ability to work autonomously and within a team.
  • Be trustworthy, honest, and have a good work ethic.
  • High level of communication and attention to detail.
  • Machinery operation and maintenance skills will be advantageous. 
  • No working dogs, pets allowed to be brought to work but not to work the cattle.
