Hello all,
I’m posting this on behalf of a friend.
My name is Chloe and I am an experienced and dependable person looking for a full time (paid) assistant
Shepherd position during the lambing season. I have 6 yrs lambing & shepherding experience
as a co-worker and one lambing season (2020) periodically taking sole responsibility due to
covering maternity leave. Lambing, 350 Texel/Charollais cross ewes with a lambing percentage
of 150%.
I am interested in all areas of sheep farming and currently studying an online ‘sheep production’
course with the Royal Correspondence College.
A good team player who is willing to muck in, flexible, keen to learn new skills.
Not afraid of hard work and able to work for long periods of time in all weathers. I have a
positive attitude and am confident in assisting people in a high-pressurized environment that
involves hands on work. Safety conscious and able to fully concentrate on tasks. I understand
and communicate information well. Disciplined and able to follow instructions. Can work as part
of a team or on my own initiative.
