My own work at home also provides ongoing CPD. I have over 40 years' experience of working in farming. My husband and I run a farm with a herd of 60 suckler cows, 2 bulls and followers. We have a breeding flock of sheep, various breeds of feathered birds, horses and pigs. My wide experience has included lambing, calving, farrowing, worming, vaccinations, feeding, machinery driving, silage/hay making, loading stock and transportation, (certificates for this), slaughterhouses and the processes, field maintenance and fencing, working with the environment and challenges, looking after pasture land, paperwork for DEFRA/trading standards/ business paperwork. We farm sustainability, we use no sprays, no fertilisers and work with nature. I have dealt with the Organic Association heading for a local farm to become organic. I have experience of administering drugs and wormers following the correct procedures having worked closely with vets, At this present time, we are applying for Environmental schemes which will subsequently take over single farm payment schemes, this utilises what we do now and certainly will play to our strengths. These experiences directly inform and ensure my industry knowledge is up to date and reflects current standards. I have to stay current with trends. I do feel that I have a lifetime of experience through different roles and would like a new challenge moving forward. I engage with learning, I work with people well, I am able to talk to all types of people. I do not react to situations, I have had many years of experience within classrooms of 16 upwards and engagement with colleagues. I work hard and am not afraid of also asking questions and for help if needed. I advocate teamwork and respect and will support my team members. I do feel that this is a job I would thrive in.
