Small Holding Services

Going away or need some extra help?

Whether its small herds, flocks or poultry with my agricultural background and training I offer you a quality service. I know how hard it is to plan a week away or even a day’s holiday when you have livestock commitments.

My qualifications include a National Certificate in Agriculture (with Distinction) in sheep, beef, pigs, dairy.

An Advanced National Certificate in Agriculture in sheep studies. Obtained at Sparsholt agricultural college, achieving a distinction.

I was awarded best student and have my silver shearing certificate.

I was a head shepherd in Gloucestershire for 6 years looking after 2500 ewes. I then moved to Kent and then Sussex where I worked as a contract shepherd working for many different pedigree breeds and commercial flocks.

Part of my work also involved rearing calves and relief milking.

I know how hard it is to find someone (both experienced and qualified) to care for your livestock.

This service I offer will include;

Daily Checks
Feeding, checking water troughs, checking their health for lameness, fly strike, appetite, checking stock fences and moving electric fences.
