To thrive as a Herd Manager, you need expertise in animal husbandry, health monitoring, and livestock management, often supported by agricultural or veterinary education. Familiarity with herd management software, livestock tracking systems, and relevant certifications in animal health or welfare is valuable.

What are herd managers?

Herd managers are professionals responsible for the care, management, and productivity of livestock herds, such as cattle, sheep, or goats, on a farm or ranch. Their duties include monitoring animal health, overseeing feeding and breeding programs, maintaining records, and ensuring the overall well-being of the animals. They often supervise staff and work closely with veterinarians and other specialists to optimize herd performance. Effective herd managers help improve farm profitability and sustainability.

About Us:

Tulare Veterinary Hospital is a trusted mixed animal practice serving the heart of California’s Central Valley. Our clinic combines compassionate care with progressive medicine, and we’re proud to support both beloved pets and the local agricultural community. We are seeking a Dairy Veterinarian who is dedicated to dairy herd health and reproduction, supporting long-standing family-owned dairies throughout the region.

  • Preventive herd health programs, vaccines, and disease surveillance
  • Certifying health documents (brucellosis, TB, etc.)
  • Obstetrics, including fetal extractions and occasional C-sections
  • Consulting with producers on herd management, production, and operations
  • Maintaining strong, trusting client relationships built over years of service
  • Participating in an on-call rotation (every 4th weekend) for emergency support

This is a 100% farm call role, serving herds that range from 3,000–5,000 cows,

Compensation & Benefits:
  • Salary: $125k–$135k, depending on experience + Production
  • No Negative Accrual

  • 401(k) + Matching: up to 6%
  • Flexible PTO Package with 3 Weeks of PTO!
  • Personalized, 1-on-1 Mentorship with Dr. Rodriguez
The Area

Located in California’s Central Valley, Tulare is right in the heart of dairy country, in fact, it’s home to the world-famous Tulare Ag Expo, the largest annual agricultural show in the world. The community is close-knit and deeply connected to farming, making it a great place to build lasting client relationships. Beyond the dairies, you’ll find affordable living, great schools, and easy access to both nature and city life. The Sierra Nevada mountains and Sequoia National Park are just a short drive away for weekend hiking or camping, while Fresno (45 minutes) and the California coast (2–3 hours) give you even more options for getaways.
