I have been entrusted with the running of an entire farm of 120 cows (70 calves) whilst the farmer went for a 1 month holiday to Australia. The month was extremely hard work and I learnt invaluable lessons along the way during temperatures of -17C and blizzards. This speaks volumes about my abilities and competence, as well as my intelligence and work ethos. Please note the references given are Swedish farmers who only speak a little English. I intend to acquire more farming certifications during my work in the UK.
35
I have a partner (Swedish national) and 3 dogs. I plan to search for housing nearby the farm if there is no House residence on it, however initially temporary housing will be appreciated.
