My name is Simon, I'm 31 and looking to gain some more experience of livestock farming.
I've done several days varied work with a member of the forum who was good enough to take me on as a sort of trainee/labourer on his farm/fencing business. Unfortunately through neither of our fault the arrangement isn't able to continue for the foreseeable future.
I've learnt to drive tractors, use a couple of different implements (mower, bale grab, post knocker), loader, telehandler and helped with some fence installation. I also have my chainsaw ticket (I occasionally do some forestry work) and some prior experience with a quad. I'm hoping there might be somebody in the Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire area who needs some help and is willing to keep topping up my skills and knowledge on the job. I'm a quick learner and not shy of hard work, I have common sense, just little experience.
Part time/occasional to fit around other work would be ideal to start with, (usually able to do a couple of days a week, can also do morning or afternoon some days if reasonably local) but eventually I may be looking for a full time job or set days each week. I'm self employed, so no need for pensions, sick pay, etc.
I'd also be happy to do short term work if you need help with a particular job/project.
If you can help me, please email sidwills (at) AOL (dot) com or message through the site.
Thanks for reading.
