Other livestock experience

Throughout my farming career, I have worked on three farms as an assistant in the management of livestock, sheep, beef cattle, pigs and chickens. I operate and maintain many types of farm machinery. I provide support in animal husbandry including all tasks involved in wintering in cattle, fencing, lambing, calving, mob grazing, fixing equipment, hay making, administering drugs and vaccines, bolusing, sending cattle off for slaughter, and foot trimming.

Through careful planning and attention to detail I maintain records of animal health and births to inform breeding and culling decisions.
