Other livestock experience

After studying livestock and development at Greenmount agricultural college, I moved to Scotland to contract shepherd alongside my brother as well as running a 12,000 acre hill estate. Whilst contracting shepherding I have been involved with key periods of the sheep farming calendar including lambing, shearing alongside other general duties (worming, vaccinating, dipping etc) as part of a team but also in sole charge. I have worked in New Zealand on large beef and sheep enterprises during the lambing and calving times. I have also carried out a number of shearing seasons. Recent employment I have been involved with starting a suckler herd, sheep flock and beef unit in North Yorkshire and nurtured the interest of the boss’s son within agriculture.
