Growing up.

I've grown up on a dairy farm in Otorohanga most of my life until i started my apprenticeship in fabrication at Gray Construction in Otorohanga.

Ages 14-18 i was relief milking for neighbours most weekends as a form of extra money and have had experience identifying sick cows and treating, although I will most likely need more training for this as its been a long time since I last had to do it.
