2017-2020 helped lambing around 450 ewes every year including night shift i was also helping looking after around 40 sucklers and 100 fattening cattle. i also helped with harvest both carting off and picking up bales and loading onto trailers.
2021-2021 here i lambed around 1000 ewes and hogs in pens of 50 this was very fast paced as i was the main person that was always in the shed this was only a seasonal position hence the short time there.
2021-2022 work was not farming related and was in a knacker yard
2022-2022 here i worked as a arable operative for a harvest season driving a 6215r with a 18 tone Stuart trailer. before harvest i also topped most of the field margins on the 4000 acre establishment. after harvest was ground preparation where i was part of a gang of three using GPS to power harrow both ploughed and top downed land.
2023-2023 Here i was head lamber for roughly 1500 ewes for approximately 3-4 weeks i did regular feeding and watering of pens administered injections and assisted with any births i also drove the quad bike with a trailer which held 6 sets of ewes and lambs as well as using a loadall and 4 in 1 bucket to do fencing around some of the fell land i also kept a good hygiene routine of liming every individual pen after the ewe was turned out.
