Pig Farmer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last decade working with pork producers and understand what keeps a pig operation steady day to day. At my last place, we moved a 2,500-head herd through a tight breeding and wean-to-finish plan, and I helped keep temperatures and feed schedules stable across the pens. When I looked at [Company Name], I saw a chance to apply solid, on‑farm methods to keep things efficient without adding extra risk to the herd. I am strong on animal health monitoring, pasture and fodder planning, and daily farm operations. I’ve built routines around water systems, fencing integrity, and equipment maintenance, along with simple, precise record keeping to track performance. I’ve worked with teams to train staff and supervise contractors, and I’m comfortable with budgeting and basic production planning to keep cattle and pigs well aligned with seasonal markets. A concrete example from a recent season: we significantly improved wean weights by adjusting nutrition plans and moving groups to optimise feeding opportunities. We kept daily logs for health checks and vaccination timing, and we cut downtime on the loading yards by standardising pen movements and handling practices. The changes slowed stress on the animals and supported more consistent growth across sheds. I’m interested in discussing how my hands-on approach and practical farming mindset can fit [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat at your convenience and can travel to meet, or start with a phone call to outline how we might proceed. Kind regards, [Your Name]
