About Jacob Anderson

Professional Summary I grew up on a beef farm in Waihi before moving to Whanganui, where I gained hands-on experience in fencing, stock work, and seasonal tasks like docking and weaning by working with my dad during school breaks. Since starting university at Lincoln, I have continued working as a fencer and general farm hand in Methven and the Rakaia Gorge, building strong practical skills and confidence with machinery and livestock. In late 2025 and early 2026, I studied for a semester in the United States and worked for two months on an Angus cattle ranch in Wyoming through a scholarship from Angus New Zealand. These experiences enhanced my adaptability, independence, and problem-solving ability in varied farm environments. I have a practical, adaptable approach to daily challenges, a strong work ethic, and a can-do attitude. I am willing to take on a wide range of tasks including concreting, tree cutting, building, installing water systems, and welding, working reliably in all conditions.
