About Zoe Hoskins

"Current student looking to work around uni hours"

I have worked on dairy farms for the past 3 years. I am capable of setting up portable fences at required positions and I have an understanding of residuals and when cows need more feed. I am confident in the dairy shed both milking and putting appropriate washes through the plant and the vat, I am capable of teaching others to milk and to wash the plant. I can pick up on if a cow has mastitis and can assist in treating. I have good stockmanship and understand basic animal health. I have attended a hoof trimming course and can pick out cows that need to have hooves trimmed. I am capable of helping with weed control both grubbing and spraying, and have good shed hygiene. I am looking for work on a dairy farm, but open to other roles
