Interests and hobbies
My hobbies include Young Farmers which allows me to meet other young people that have the same background and same interest as myself this is good because it means I get to be around people who can help me achieve my personal and career goals. I also farm in my spare time on my family run farm which has been passed down through generations which I hope to own one day. This has helped with my teamwork skills because everyone has jobs to do to get everything done in the yard. Also, it improves my communication skills because I can listen and follow instructions effectively. My main interest is certainly farming because its what I do in my free time before and after school. Farming is my main focus and I enjoy tractor work or animal work as I like both these farming aspects. We farm sheep and beef in which we buy stores or suck calves, or we buy drop calves to rear on a cow or milk replacer so there is always something to be involved with. With the sheep we have 100 ewes and about 50 ewe lambs that we lamb from the start of March. Therefore, I have a sound understanding with animal husbandry and working with machinery. I also help out neighbours when doing silage this consists of raking, tedding and carting silage and also buckraking. I am a confident driver and am up to do anything
