Beschreibung

We are a Dairy farm in the north of Iceland 7 km from Varmahlið.
We have around 60 milking cows in the barn. The female calves stay with us and the males sell to the neighbor for lack of proper room. There are also around 20 horses and 3 of them are riding horses. We also have a dog, two cats and two rabbits.
There are two generations living on the farm in one house but two apartments.

Arbeit

It is possible to help on the farm during the spring and summertime.
Every day starts with the morning milking at 8 am and ends usually with the evening milking at 9pm for us. “Usually” because you never know what might happen. For example a cow having trouble giving birth, calves checking out the other side of the fence or the harvesting needing to get done for risk of possible rain the next day. All other chores are done between the milking times and depend on time of the year and weather. Chores for example are fieldwork, fencing or fixing other things which break down, horse/foal training or shopping.
Main responsibilities will be to take care of the horses/ foaltraining, help with the milking and cuddle the calves. You will need to have some riding experience, but we will train you for milking, and looking after calves should be in the nature of the human being :-)
