After my time up north, I came home to NSW and started working at Rippling Waters, Tumbarumba, NSW and also starting up my Horse Breaking and shoeing business what i am still currently doing but also contracting fencing in Forbes NSW.

some of the duties that i have done since fencing out west are;

• Set metal or wooden posts in upright positions in postholes.
• Used hand tools and instruments to take measurements.
• Dug holes and trenches to position fences correctly.
• Joined, raised and secured fence segments in place.
• Inspected fences for gaps and vulnerabilities, making necessary adjustments.
• Installed metal and wooden fences and privacy borders.
• Filled post holes with concrete to maintain proper stability and longevity of fencing installations.

After spending time in my home state working on a few properties I thought changing the scenery and heading up North would be the most beneficial for me to expand my knowledge and work ethic to see how older states run they're industry.

While I was working up north I was involved in a lot of different jobs.

• Mustering large groups of cattle on bikes and horses.
• gaining communication skills via talking and understanding the pilots via UHF.
• processing large amount of cattle
• branding, cutting, dehorning calves and weaners.
• walking out wet and dry cattle.
• training weaners
• how to operate a Bull catcher and hazing buggy while in WA area

After finishing up at Glen Rock i wanted to expand my knowledge on the industry that I saw myself working in for a long time. The job list where directly the same as at Glen rock. But some other skills that i expanded during my time there were

• Collaborated with other veterinary professionals to develop best practices for cattle care and management.
• Improved overall herd productivity through strategic breeding and genetic selection practices.
• Assisted in calving procedures, ensuring both cow and calf''s safety during the birthing process.
• Conducted regular farm visits to assess animal well-being, identify issues, and provide necessary treatment.

• mustering cattle on bikes ands horses
• calf marking
• all kinds of fencing
• processing of older cattle
• training cattle and working dogs.
