Summary

I’m a confident and hardworking farmhand with hands-on experience working with both cattle and sheep. I’ve been involved in a wide range of tasks, including milking, calf rearing, tail trimming, weighing and vaccinating I’m also experienced with sheep work, such as fencing, butchering, and shifting stock. I’m confident driving a variety of vehicles, and I always give 100% on the job. I’m reliable, durable, and not afraid of hard work or tough conditions. No matter what the day throws at me, I get stuck in and get the job done.
