Farming background

Lots of hands on experience with sheep running 70000/100'000 sheep through the station every moth back home using my Kelpie's shearing up to 600 a day working with beef cattle as well. About me I was born in the UK but moved to Australia just before I was one year old and moved back to the UK in 2014. I am quick and enthusiastic to learn new skills. Also, reliable and committed to any work thrown my way. I have previous experience with heavy machinery, including tractors, diggers and forklifts. I am also able to work as part of a team and/or on my own initiative.

For the rest of the season, I would do general husbandry duties including scanning stock movement, vaccinations, training the new guys coming in, repairs on the sheds, cattle movement and alpaca shearing Nov 2013-Dec 2014 ​​Pig, Poultry & dairy farming. ​ This was where I helped construct egg sheds, milk 250 Jerseys in the evening, scrape out in the mornings, move 12,000 chickens and check their health daily. I was required to separate eggs into different standards while keeping record of how many were laid each day and how many were of good quality, poorer quality, large and/or cracked. The pigs required less work, only needing to be cleaned out and fed every day. I also administered any medication the chickens, pigs and cows when required.
