Shearwell is a founder member of ALIDMA, the industry body for UK animal identification manufacturers and suppliers
The Company
Shearwell Data Limited was formed in 1990, primarily to provide animal identification solutions for farmers. This includes the manufacture of ear tags for cattle, sheep and pigs, the development of farm management software for beef and sheep farmers, electronic identification systems for livestock and a web-based database for data storage, transfer and comparison.
The location
Shearwell Data Limited is a privately-owned company based on a working sheep farm on Exmoor. It combines the benefits of working in a friendly, rapidly-growing high-technology business with the advantages of living in a rural environment.

So if you’d like to be part of this exciting environment, look at the current vacancies below and get in touch. (Or just send a C.V. and a covering letter telling us about yourself.)
