Your Next Employer TA Field Estates is one of Australia’s most respected family-owned wool producers – a business built on over a century of practical know-how and steady investment. The company owns and operates six properties spanning roughly 75,000ha, running high-performing Merino and beef enterprises alongside select cropping. Wyvern Station is the cornerstone of that portfolio: 55,000 ha on the Murrumbidgee River between Griffith and Hay. It’s recognised nationally for its Merino genetics, disciplined management, and contribution to the wider industry through training programs and scholarships such as the Peter Westblade initiative. The property is well-developed with modern infrastructure - a 12-stand U-board shearing shed, new A/C shearers’ quarters, laneways, full water reticulation and quality housing. You’ll be stepping into an operation that values professionalism, practical leadership and continuity - where good systems, good people and good stock are all equally important. You’ll join a family business that looks long-term, values integrity, trust and clear communication, and gives its managers the autonomy to deliver. The Role You’ll work closely with the owner to lead the day-to-day running of Wyvern’s Merino and cattle operations. It’s a hands-on leadership role with real responsibility and scope to make your mark, while respecting the systems and standards already in place. You’ll balance practical leadership with planning, budgets and reporting. AgriWebb underpins operational records and livestock data, and Safe Ag Systems is being rolled out across WHS and admin compliance. You’ll have a capable 2IC and a committed team around you – four Jillaroos, a cook and part-time gardener, plus seasonal contractors as needed. The focus is on keeping the operation smooth, disciplined and productive - good stock work, clear planning, and a team that takes pride in the place. Key Responsibilities Lead operations – Be visible and hands-on in the paddocks and yards. Manage rotations, feeding, and animal health programs to a high standard. Manage people – Set structure and direction; support your 2IC; coach juniors and maintain team routines like “Maintenance Monday.” WHS & compliance – Build a proactive safety culture using Safe Ag Systems; act quickly on incidents and follow through. Plan & report – Run weekly planning with your 2IC; manage payroll prep, feed orders and invoices; maintain clean, accurate data in AgriWebb. Budgets & benchmarking – Contribute to the annual budgeting cycle and quarterly livestock returns; stay connected with benchmarking groups and apply what you learn. Contractors & assets – Coordinate shearers, classers and service providers; keep sheds, plant, vehicles and fences in top working order. What You Bring Strong background in large-scale livestock operations, ideally within Merino; cattle experience an advantage. Calm, steady leadership – you set the tone from the paddock, not the desk. Well-trained working dogs and the ability to train others in their use. Organised, methodical and data-minded - you keep on top of the detail without overcomplicating it Clear communicator, respectful of ownership and station history but practical about improvement. Proven management experience, or a confident 2IC ready to step up.
