My name is Tanya. I run a dairycow farm in the North of Norway in a village called Karasjok. The nature is right outside our door. My parents and my brothers live next door. In the quiet periods you can enjoy the calm on the farm. When we have a lot to do we work.
The farm has
• Tiestall.
• Milkmasters
• About 45 animals in total with cows and youngstock.
• Tower silo
• Pickupwagon
• Roundbaler
Around Karasjok there is beautiful nature. Here you can experience the Midnight sun in the summer and snow, cold temperatures and Nothern lights during winter. Temperature can be between +30 in the summer and below -45 during wintertime. 24 hour daylight for a period during summer and 1 hour daylight for a period during wintertime.

I am looking for a worker that can work independently, take responsibility and take care of the cowbarn.
The helper will do the daily tasks in the cowbarn and stable. It will be the normal work, milking, feeding, cleaning, see if a cow is sick or in heat, contact the veterinarian and assist him, take care of the cow when it is giving birth and after and other things that might show up with the animals or machines.
It will also be other work like fencing, tractor driving(if you have a permit for it), cleaning, repairs and all other kind of work that exist on a farm.
