This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced dairy professional who wants to take on greater responsibility and play an important role in building the dairy as it expands.

This individual will play an important role in developing the heifer and calf programs, including breeding and calving schedules, colostrum and newborn care, feeding, sanitation, and calf health. The Manager will also supervise, train, and develop employees while helping build a strong team as cow numbers and staffing increase.

The ideal candidate will be an energetic, adaptable leader who enjoys building and improving an operation. This is an opportunity to grow with the dairy and have a meaningful role in developing its people, programs, and systems as the operation expands.
