I done a couple of seasons lambing of 400 ewes which then lead straight onto the next farm where there was 700 ewes, I gained a lot of practical knowledge including, wet fostering during this time and learned to spot illnesses in the ewes and lambs, I was left unassisted most of time during this period. I learned to administer some medications ie. iodine, spectrum, clamoxyl ect. and I am also competent in dealing with prolapses. Also I have vast milking experience and spotting mastitis. Also doing night checks for bulling cows. Vast calving experience checking cows that are due to calve. Also some basic pig handling skills I obtained at a small scale hobby farm.

I was a part time game keeper on a shoot which held 4000 pheasants of which I was in charge of a pen and wood that held 1200 birds, my main rolls were the general feeding and upkeep of the birds, and fox control. I can also MIG weld. I hold a full UK driving licence with a B+E trailer licence and have a wide experience of quad bike riding on all terrain. I also hold a UK shotgun certificate and have been shooting since the age of 11. I am a very enthusiastic, hard working, motivated person who works well as part of a team or on my own.
