Senior Sheep Farm Worker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, In my time running the breeding and welfare side of a large sheep operation, I’ve found that steady routines and solid record keeping keep the flock healthy and productive. In the past year we moved to a rotating pasture plan that reduced parasite pressure and lifted lambing percentages by 6 points, while still keeping labour hours sensible. I’m not looking for quick wins, just steady improvement within practical constraints. I bring hands on experience in supervising breeding programs, shaping feeding plans and monitoring ewe and lamb health. I’m comfortable with pasture and fodder crop management, biosecurity measures, and the day to day of running sheep yards, drenching, and flock movement. I’m interested in a role where a team relies on clear decisions, practical maintenance of housing and water systems, and reliable record keeping to support the farm’s output. One example from [Previous Company] sticks with me. We faced a dry spell that hit forage quality, so I coordinated with the agronomy team to adjust the ration and implement a targeted lick program while extending irrigation on key paddocks. We kept wean numbers steady and avoided late losses, and I documented the changes so the team could replicate them. It’s about measuring what matters and keeping the basics solid. I’m available to discuss how I can contribute to [Company Name]. I can start with on farm training and work with the team to review routines, health plans and maintenance schedules. Please feel free to reach out to arrange a time to chat. Kind regards, [Your Name]
