Use of tractor and telehandler, supported by driving courses organised and held by Lantra Awards, to perform several tasks in farm; i.e. feeding bales of silage to stock, transporting bales of straw to lambing pens, load buckets with tarmac to fill potholes on the farm road, scraping the cow shed, rowing silage fields, moving silage bales from the field, amongst others.

Repairing some fencing around the farm through replacing posts and/or post and rail when necessary.

Also have trailer licence (cat B+E), ATV and UTV driving course.

Experience mainly on all tasks related to sheep, from lambing to gathering, drenching/worming, checking/treat feet as well as perform other preventive health checks and care . On the system where I presently work the flock is still in two where lambing occurs firstly indoor in the beginning of March and outdoor in the begining of April. A rotational grazing system has been introduced in order to graze the fields more efficiently and get the best nutrition out of the grass.

In terms of cattle I oversee the operation of the beef enterprise. I also help to perform routine tasks in the herd, like worming, tagging calves, weighing calves and cows as well as condition scoring them.
