About Heidi Lovelock
"URGENTLY SEEKING 10 WEEKS SHEEP FARM EXPERIENCE!!"
URGENT ‼️ 🐏 Hi there, I am a final year bachelor of Agriculture student at Lincoln University and I am urgently seeking 10 weeks of sheep based practical work over the summer period. I specifically require an operation that includes sheep as that is the work experience requirement. I am looking to stay ideally in canterbury but will consider further a field for the right opportunity. I’m reliable, hardworking and very keen to learn, and I’m happy to get stuck into whatever needs doing. I already have on-farm experience and am looking for an opportunity where I can contribute to the farm while completing my required practical experience. I’m flexible around the exact dates and duties and would be a keen, affordable extra pair of hands over the summer. Accommodation would be a bonus but isn’t necessarily essential (depends on location) This is URGENT ‼️ as I’m trying to secure a placement before I finish my degree, so if you know of a farmer who may be looking for someone over summer, I would be extremely grateful for a contact or share. Many thanks 😊
