Pig, Sheep, Lambing
Used tractors to help muck out on the pig farm and also to get around on the college farm. We had lessons in the telehandler where we made more room on the much pile as well as moving pallets around. The first week we did ploughing, just a small field and we also used a cultivator on a field next to it so we could compare the two. I have use with a lot of hand held 2 stroke machinery such as strimmers and hedge cutters as well as pedestrian mowers and chippers.
At college we tended to a small herd of lincoln red cattle as well as a good size sheep herd of around 150 ewes. We did shearing at the end of the year and also throughout the year we cut the nails to help avoid any foot problems. Indoor lambing took place in March. Also have experience with pigs..general mucking out feeding but also inseminations.

Volunteered on an indoor pig unit for a little while once i left school. Where i learnt to drive a tractor and do mainly the labor side of farming plus inseminations. A one year Agriculture course at Brackenhurst.. Was a few years back but was practical based. We started with ploughing in the first week then it was broken up into arable, livestock and workshop/machinery. We tended to the sheep and cattle and did lambing in the March. Serviced tractors and used the telehandler on occasions to help out on the onsite farm.
