Sheep Farmer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, Opening hook I’ve spent the last decade overseeing a flock of 3,000 ewes and lambs, keeping them healthy and moving through seasons with practical, straight-up system thinking. At [Previous Company], we shifted to a rotational grazing plan that cut fodder waste by 20% and kept weight gain steady across breeding stock. I’m looking to bring that grounded, boots-on-the-ground approach to [Company Name]. Skills alignment I’m comfortable with animal health checks, pasture management, and stock handling, from mustering to drenching and market ready packaging. I keep good records, manage budgets for fuel and supply needs, and supervise staff and casuals to keep daily tasks moving. I’m keen to understand what your grazing blocks need and how to integrate sale and transport planning into a tight farm calendar. Evidence story There was a season when a ewe mastitis outbreak threatened lambing rates. I reorganised our muster plan, tightened a fence line, and updated our water points to reduce stress during movement. We still hit target lambing while reducing vet calls by 15 percent. The team learned to spot early signs, and that practical approach kept stress down and productivity up. Professional close I’m available for a chat about how I can contribute to your team at [Company Name]. If you’d like to discuss how we can plan the season and keep costs predictable, I’m happy to talk. Kind regards, [Your Name]
