Trainee Manager Program
In 2006 we commenced one of the lot feeding industry’s first and most successful Trainee Manager programs.
Our Trainee Manager Program is designed to provide participants with exposure to all disciplines involved in lot feeding on a rotational basis, over a period of up to three years. The program also enables trainees to gain as much hands on practical experience as possible, with the view of establishing a skill-set that will enable them to manage each area of the feedlot when required. Each year we look for new candidates with a passion for agriculture and a thirst for knowledge and experience. The number of high caliber people that have transitioned through our program is evidence that the program works.
