Hello. My name is Joe and I'm 28 years of age. I grew up in Ireland on a family run 90-acre dairy farm milking 55 cows twice a day, using a Herringbone milking parlour with 8 cows on each side. When growing up on the farm my involvement was everything from caring for the herd to working with machinery. Recently I've worked for 10 months on a dairy farm in New Zealand with my wife. Currently I'm working on a dairy farm in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire, where I've been for the past 22 months. Reference from previous employer below: 17/07/16 To whom it may concern; ​We had the privilege of employing Joe and Heather from March 2015 to February 2016. Joe has proven to be one of the best farm hands we have employed Some of Joes duties included, but were not limited to; getting cows in, milking unassisted, plant hygiene, administering animal health treatments, feeding out, assisting calving cows, etc. We had no hesitation in leaving Joe and Heather to run the farm while we enjoyed weekends away. Joe is capable of working alone, is punctual, reliable, honest, polite, hardworking, a great communicator, enthusiastic, driven and always willing to learn more. I have no doubt he will be successful in his chosen field of work. We found Joe and Heather to be house proud, keeping their house and section clean and tidy. We would highly recommend Joe to future employers, and will follow his progress with keen interest.
