I have very limited machine experience as I am still not through my test due to it being delayed because of COVID.I do have a fair share of experience fencing and using a post knocker.
Worked with a variety of different breeds of sheep for example Suffolk, texels, mules, Scottish black faces. I also have experience lambing all these breeds of sheep too. I have a small amount of knowledge surrounding beef cattle as well.

Lambing assistant
March 2020- April 2020
During my time here I worked very individually, I was tasked with lambing unassisted for the most part of it.I also had to clean and disinfect pens after each ewe was turned out.I had to decide which lambs I thought were ready to be turned out and which lambs and ewes would need more attention.I was responsible for bottle and tube feeding pet lambs and feeding hungry lambs that struggled to get milk.I also had to perform health checks on both the lambs and ewes and administer medication where needed. While doing this I would also castrate and tail the lambs.

Kirkley hall college
Ponteland,Northumberland

At college, I gained experience working with beef cattle, unfortunately I have not worked with dairy cows. However I have a true passion to work in the dairy industry. I just havent found any opening for opportunity.At the college they ran a single suckler herd of around 70 head of beef cattle which the majority were Aberdeen Angus.. I learned to administer boluses, inject and dose cattle and work out correct dosages to apply.I also learned how to condition score stock.
