I regularly used quad bikes and an off-road buggy to monitor, move, and feed the sheep. I also mucked out sheds, set up and maintained electric fencing, helped with carting straw and haylage, and took charge of feeding and bedding at housing time in preparation for lambing." l am also use to using a livestock trailor.
Ive worked with sheep for most of my lifeeither as a full-time shepherd or providing lambing assistance on several farmsso I have a solid understanding of flock management across all seasons. Im confident with all the day-to-day duties expected of a shepherd, such as regular stock checks, foot trimming, worming, tagging, ringing, dagging, and general health treatments. Ive had plenty of hands-on experience with lambing, including wet and dry fostering, assisting difficult births, tube .feeding, and ensuring newborns are strong and nursing well. ive also milked goats and cattle and done some showing of cattle and sheep.

"I began my agricultural career at Hadlow College in 1986/87, where I gained a solid foundation in farming practices. Following my studies, I undertook numerous lambing positions and then secured a shepherding role on a farm managing 500 Mule ewe lambs, where I worked for approximately three years. I then spent two years working on a dairy farm, gaining valuable experience with livestock management outside of sheep farming.
After that, I took on the role of Farm Manager at a rare breeds farm, overseeing sheep and other traditional livestock for around five years. I then moved to Devon to work as a shepherd on an organic farm, further developing my skills in sustainable and welfare-focused practices. From there, I accepted a shepherding position in Kent, where I have remained for the past 14 years, managing a large flock and handling all aspects of flock care throughout the farming year."
