As above.

Been looking for ages now for some livestock work near Birmingham.

I have Dairy experience but would love to try my hand at something new too.

Please get in touch.

Thanks

Give them a break.

@Hipkiss1987 what sort of work might you be looking for? You say you’re experienced but how much?

Give who a break? I’m only asking a question?

I’m not hugely experienced. I know I have a lot to learn. I’m trying to get this experience.

I have worked on a dairy farm. Milking. Scraping. Feeding. Calf rearing. Moving cattle. And slurry spreading.

I know, I meant the others pulling your leg!!

Did you ask on here a few months back?

I have posted on several occasions. Looked at 4xtrahands etc.

Short of knocking on doors (which I know I should do) I’m at a loss. And determined to leave my current 9-5.

Blimey. I don’t know how to help then I’m afraid.

Maybe put an ad in livestock market reports?

Richard don’t be offended but you have to “work harder“ at making this happen, TFF is a tiny part of the ag world, when you last came looking around 18mths ago I suggested getting on Twitter and searching out the leads and people who may know or assist, you joined and put up one post as I recall and disappeared. There is a big shortage of good staff across all sectors of Brit Ag, but they won’t come to you, you must go and make it happen. It’s doable and by Friday you will have leads and interviews booked, whether they work for you depends on whether you are prepared to travel or have a very defined requirement. Michael Oakes
Is the NFU dairy chair and farms near the M42/M5 split so a gd lead. Best of luck but maybe dig a little deeper.

Like you say I did get on Twitter. But didn’t really understand it if I’m honest. Not a technophobe but didn’t get it. Maybe I will try again.

Its easy and has a massive reach of all sectors if you look. Id suggest making the effort will deliver the results if you really are keen. Your only post was very very basic and didnt really do much to get any interest and for people to share. Tweet bullet points ie "young keen and looking for livestock work in the Midlands, drivers license, basic experience on a dairy farm, will to travel, learn etc" - delate or amend but tweet something like that and people will respond - you must sell yourself if you really want this to happen and not waste your time or others. No offence but "maybe" doesnt really sound like your that keen tbh.
