Livestock Manager careers
A Livestock Manager oversees the care, breeding, and management of livestock on farms or ranches. You might work on cattle, sheep, or pig farms, focusing on animal health, productivity, and welfare. Livestock Managers plan and implement feeding programmes, monitor breeding cycles, and ensure compliance with animal welfare regulations. You’ll manage staff, maintain facilities, and handle administrative tasks related to livestock operations.
Livestock Managers play a crucial role in the efficiency and profitability of livestock production. You’ll need to be organised and detail-oriented, with strong management and problem-solving skills. You’ll liaise with veterinarians, suppliers, and farm workers to ensure optimal animal care and operational efficiency. Effective communication skills are essential for coordinating tasks and reporting on farm performance.
