Farming background

I grew up on the family sheep and suckler farm using a lot of different types of equipment and machinery, around a variety of animals on a daily basis which provided me with a lot of experience from an early age. I am a very sensible, careful driver and understand the value of farm machinery and the maintenance it requires. I can identify and fix basic machinery problems. Working with all sorts of animals from a very young age I understand and value that every animal requires different levels of care, attention and handling. I have a lifelong passion for farming and love of animals, and strive to do everything to the best of my ability. I am keen to learn new skills and fulfil a career in farming. I left school in 2011 and worked doing butchery for two years full time and then in March 2013 I decided to move to England.
