I am a farmer(ess). I have responsibility for 700+ sheep and 70 cows plus youngstock.
It's hard work and dangerous sometimes, especially when cows have new calves as they are very protective and sheep can look cute and cuddly but can run headlong into your knees and dislocate them! I am down to one finger and a thumb that I have not broken .....yet.
I also do vermin control, train sheepdogs and gundogs (Spaniels) for myself and others and farm accounts. In my spare time? I play the accordian in a Scottish band and go fishing and pheasant shooting with my sons. It's a great life.
