Corn and straw carting. Ploughing and cultivations. Telehandler experience loading lorries, mucking out and stacking bales. Last 2 harvests involved 14tonne trailers and tractors ranging from 140-200hp. 2500 combined acres through a 35' header. Alot of work loader based- Manitou. Hedge cutting experience in the past.
Shepherded flocks up to 2500 ewes. Last permanent job involved full managerial responsibilities for 1000 ewes lambing three times a year providing lamb for own butchers shops. Have worked in hill and upland situations as well as lowland flock management. Was a contract lamber for several years with mainly repeat contracts.Willing to run a lambing set-up. Experience of night and outdoor lambing. I worked on the farm where I lambed for 4 years and was given the chance to run the shed; from fairly similar scanning numbers I was able to raise the true lambing % from approx' 165 to 189 while reducing the staffing level. In Norfolk was given a blank sheet of paper and set up a successful lambing operation which once again raised performance with reduced labour input; resulting in a lambing % over the three flocks of 175, bearing in mind some were lambing in January and May which resulted in reduced prolificacy and the ewes were of less prolific breeds. Beef rationing with Keenan wagon.

I have over 20 years experience of working within a broad spectrum of mixed farming environments working predominantly with livestock but regularly involved in harvest tasks. Brought up on an arable family farm in Lincolnshire. Experience has ranged from small family farms to large estates in various locations in the UK. I have often had to work independently using my initiative in order to deliver results. Often have had to do stock tasks before joining in the harvest team each day. Work has involved corn store management. Previous employer shifting to full-time staff rather than seasonal.
