Milked cows for 10+ years alongside sheep work but once cows got sold concentrated on the sheep. Have lambed indoors and outdoors single handed and also as part of a team. Was solely responsible for approximately 1000 ewes that lambed outside for a number of years. Alongside with some calf rearing, cattle feeding and sheep dipping. Am a good record keeper and understand the importance of this. And can communicate back to team/management.

Enjoy my collies and training I also enjoy watching trials havent been bold enough to compete but can learn a lot from spectating. Have also got my own sheep which I realise may have to be sold if dont fit with new job but enjoy having my own and also gives me a good insight into the costs and the paperwork and management. If I have any spare time I enjoy getting to the coast and finding a nice quiet spot.
