Tractor experience- while working on the station I spent a fair bit of time in the tractor doing different tasks. I spent large hours on the tractor doing various different cultivation processes. I also spent time shifting and feeding hay bales.

I also did one season in the grape harvest in Marlborough NZ driving a tractor towing a gondola which the harvester will fill into and Id transfer the grapes from the Gondola into a truck once full.

I spent two summers working on an intensive sheep and beef farm. There was a range of different stock work a lot of animal health drenching and vacating sheep and cattle. So I spent a large amount time dealing with stock in the yards also in the sharing shed crutching lambs before sale.

While working full time on a large scale high country station I also had a lot of experience working with stock. We had a Hereford cattle stud so during the calving period it was very intensive with weighing a tagging calves at birth. I was also involved with mustering stock between smaller winter paddocks and out to the large summer blocks on the hill Country.
