Summary

Proven to excel in livestock management, I significantly enhanced animal welfare and productivity at Yarrabee Boer Goat Stud. Skilled in animal husbandry and adept at task prioritization, my hands-on approach and collaborative efforts led to a noticeable improvement in herd health and operational efficiency. I enjoy working with livestock and have many past experiences handling and moving them. I can administer subcutaneous and intramuscular injections as well as oral drenches if need be.

As I am still in School, I will only be able to work after school hours and every second weekend as I have family measures that limit my ability to work weekends. Fridays are my designated Traineeship day so I will be unavailable until it is finalised.
