I am an experienced well rounded Dairy Farm worker for 15 years now. I have work my way up in the farming industry and had held positions from the lowest as a General farm worker in Saudi Arabia, and been promoted every year, until I became a Stockman Supervisor before I left the country to pursue greener pastures. Working for 8 years with my sole employer here in New Zealand from the lowest position up to becoming a Farm Manager have helped me hone my skills in Dairy Farming and as a Contractor.
