Feedlot Hand (Junior Role) | QLD

This is a full-time, onsite junior feedlot role, working alongside an experienced team to support the day-to-day operations of the feedlot.

You’ll be involved in all aspects of feedlot work from feeding and cattle checks through to yard maintenance and general duties. This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same.

This role suits someone who is eager to learn, takes direction well, and is willing to pitch in wherever needed. No extensive experience required, just the right attitude.

We’re not your typical operation.

We run a hands-on, fast-paced livestock business where doing things properly matters from animal welfare through to daily feed routines and yard operations. We take pride in maintaining high standards, looking after our cattle, and supporting the people who make it all happen.

This role is for someone who is willing to learn, work hard, and be part of a team. Someone who enjoys being outdoors, isn’t afraid of early starts, and takes pride in a job well done.
