I got my first farm job at the age of 14 on a local sheep farm. Between the ages of 15 and 19 I worked part time on several farms during the 4 years I spent a lackham college including a pedigree suffolk flock. After college I work on a sheep farm which ran around 3500 Mules and Swaledales on Sailsbury Plain. I then moved to a mixed sheep and arable farm after an ilness to the shepherd. I was made redundant 6 months later when the flock was sold. I then worked at a Park in Hampshire. I started off working as an assistant to the livestock manager, doing much of the day to day routine with the 1000 Llyen ewes, Water Buffalo and the native Angus and Hereford beef heard. I was then given the opportunity to run the pig and wild boar enterprise. I also worked for a Contractors where I did a verity of jobs from fencing to tree surgery and habitat management. In the past I have also worked for a local Thatcher and building contractors.
