Cody Beck
East Maitland ,NSW
Summary
My name is Cody Beck. I have over 20 years experience in farming, from sheep and beef to dairy farming and also finishing bulls. I am skilled when it comes to fencing and using a chainsaw and can do in a safe and confident manner. I am confident in all aspects of farming and it has been a big part of my life. My wife and I and three children all love the outdoors and we enjoy getting out onto the land hunting and exploring our surroundings.
My family and I currently living and working in Australia and have been waiting for the right opportunity to return back to NZ to get back into what I love and am passionate about. I think I would be a great fit for your team.
Thank you for taking the time to read over my CV and I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
