Exciting new shepherding role available in Lincolnshire.

Highlander and NZ Romney ewes which play a key role in our Regen Farming System

We are a large arable business in Lincolnshire with integrated sheep and beef enterprises.

The Role – 

The Head Shepherd will take responsibility for the day-to-day running of our 850- ewe sheep enterprise. The role will include undertaking daily sheep checks, as well as lambing, tailing, vaccinating, tagging and weaning.  Contract crutching/shearing and scanning made available.

The position involves working closely with the owner to organise grazing and labour requirements on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. 

The sheep are outside all year round, so the applicant must be used to working with Rappa (or equivalent) temporary fencing. Grazing consists of summer catch crops, winter cover crops and herbal leys. These grazing platforms are shared with the cattle enterprise, and the shepherd would be expected to work closely with the owner to discuss the grazing plan for both enterprises. 

Excellent communication skills are essential, as is the ability to plan their own workload and highlight when additional labour is required. Working closely with the wider farm team will also be an important part of this role. 

The Package – 

First class accommodation available on the farm, reflecting the importance of the position. 

Land Rover Defender, fitted with solid dog boxes, available.

• Salary to attract the best and will reflect experience. 


• Training and staff development  keenly supported. Opportunities to learn from the leading soil health/regenerative farming advisors etc. 


• Working dogs essential
