Summary

I have three years experience in the sheep and beef industry, although im not the experienced farm manager your after im driven and keen to get there. I believe that with the initial help from the farm owner working alongside them, ill be able to take responsibility of the full management in the near future. I have a team of 9 capable work dogs, and horses if required. Have also been breaking in horses my whole life if that skill is needed. I take the business and record taking side of farming very seriously and consistently wanting to learn more, i feel eventually i will be able to bring new ideas to the table. I also have very knowledgeable and well respected people to learn off.
