Add a flock to your block and let me handle the herd.

Livestock management for Franklin farm and lifestyle block owners.

I have a great love for animals and I believe they can have a positive impact on children's development while also helping to maintain the grass.

Ensuring the well-being of animals is my highest priority and I know that often livestock are considered a part of the family. I share my knowledge and skills to care for your livestock, so you can have peace of mind that they are healthy and living their best life, while being treated with respect and care.

I can step in to handle things like drenching, docking, shearing, liaising with vets, as well as the day-to-day tasks required to ensure healthy animals and a safe, comfortable environment for them to live in.

(And, if you’ve decided Daisy is destined for the dinner table instead, I can liaise with the right people to discreetly take care of that, too.)
