Farming background

No previous official agricultural employments; all experience gotten from running my own farm and helping on neighbouring farms. However I can provide relevant agricultural references.

I have been single-handedly running my own farm since October 2022, ensuring high levels of welfare for my livestock, managing high pressure and stressful periods such as lambing and retaining detailed and accurate records for both accreditation purposes and for aiding in the supporting of low labour genetic flock improvement.
