Title:

Chief Mud Management Specialist

Description:

High Tor Estate is seeking a experienced, thick-skinned Senior Farmer who isn't afraid of 4:30 AM starts, horizontal Peak District rain, or sheep with a suicidal inclination to escape through hedge gaps.

We farm 450 acres of mixed arable land alongside a herd of 120 commercial beef cattle and 300 breeding ewes. If you know how to talk down a stubborn tractor engine with mild swearing, can spot a sick lamb from 100 yards away, and enjoy eating lunch out of a Tupperware container on a muddy hill, this is the job for you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Livestock Negotiations: Oversee daily feeding, lambing, calving, shearing, and healthcare for cattle and sheep.

  • Machinery Operation: Drive tractors, balers, and combine harvesters without reversing into historic stone walls.

  • Fence Warfare: Continuously repair drystone walls and barbed wire fences that sheep actively conspire to destroy.

  • Weather Endurance: Work efficiently outdoors regardless of whether it is freezing, sweltering, or hailing sideways.

Requirements:

  • Minimum 4 years of hands-on commercial livestock and tractor driving experience.

  • PA1 & PA2 Spraying Certificates (desirable).

  • Full UK Driving Licence + Trailer (E) entitlement.

  • Ability to diagnose tractor troubles by sound alone.
