PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Experienced, reliable and hard working lamber. I have been doing contract lambing for the last few years as well as doing seasonal and general sheep work including: working with shearing gangs as a wool handler both in the Uk as well as Norway and Australia; gathering, some shearing, branding, dosing, jagging, tagging and marking.
I have done both indoor and outdoor lambing’s and I am confident and attentive with all aspects of the job. I am used to working long hours, adapt easily to various environments and I am willing to work both independently or as part of a team.
