"Experienced Contract Milkers Seeking Long-Term Dairy Position"
Professional Summary We are Kris and Liz Peterson, a contract milking partnership with six years of experience primarily in Southland and recently working in Central Otago. The change to Otago has allowed us to gain valuable experience with irrigation systems such as pivots and K-lines and reflect on improving our business practices, staff management, health and safety, and use of dairy apps including Protrack, Colars, and Resolution. Kris brings nearly thirty years in the dairy industry, and Liz joined thirteen years ago, together complementing each other’s strengths effectively. We take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and tidy work environment, looking after equipment and expecting the same from our staff. We are seeking long-term contract milking positions with opportunities to build solid relationships with farm owners and contribute to the success of the farm. Education - Chemical Handling Certificate - First Aid Certificate - Health and Safety Certificate (Employsure) - Leptosure Certificate Our family life includes three children and shared interests such as fishing and horse breeding. We are reliable, efficient with record keeping (MINDA, Co Op), and committed to prevention as our motto states, “Prevention is the best cure.” We look forward to returning to contract milking with enthusiasm and professionalism.
