Seasonal Farm Worker - J Garbutt Farms

Mainly work at lambing time. Here we lamb over 500 ewes outside for production of store lambs. Work with the Garbutt family as well as teaching vet students. Have dealt with severe calcium deficiency, prolapses, induced ewes, c-sections, watery mouth, dry and wet adoptions.

Have also worked across summers dagging lambs, foot trimming where necessary and dipping the sheep. Enjoy teaching vet students how to handle livestock safely and administrate animal medicine correctly.
