Sheep and Beef Farm Worker
New Zealand
I am a hardworking, reliable and motivated farm worker looking to build a long-term career in sheep and beef farming. My dairy farming experience includes three seasons of calf rearing, relief milking and general farm duties, developing my stockmanship and confidence around livestock. I am confident handling horses, enjoy physical outdoor work and take pride in being punctual, dependable and calm around animals. I am keen to develop my skills in stock handling, mustering, fencing and farm maintenance, and to build and train my own team of working dogs up, I have 1 heading dog and 1 huntaway (who I’m finishing off)
