Looking for possible work experience and knowledge
« on: January 03, 2014, 06:56:01 pm »
Hi guys if any of you own a farm/smallholding, or know anyone that does, in the West midlands area, i would be more than happy to help out, this purely for work experience and my own knowledge. If you are interested just shoot me a message  :)

If you do not mind living in a caravan with a wood burner for heating, and you do not mind being in Cornwall. You are welcome to come a gain experience with my 27 pigs.

Have a look at some of the breed club websites. Most will give a list of breeders in the UK. Might help find someone close to home. If you don't have any luck, send me a PM and I'll mention your offer in my column in Country Smallholding. Sure to be someone looking for a spare pair of hands. If only you were closer!
Good luck

I'm looking anywhere in the West Midlands really, and I may be able to make it to Cornwall in the holidays but probably not, thanks for the offer. And i'll check around but i can'r find any at the moment. If you did mention me, i would be eternally grateful.
Thanks guys
