Dairy farm at home
I started recently working on a dairy farm doing milking (2500 cows approx). I graduated a few months ago in Law, but since I realized that it didn't make me happy, I applied for this role, and I can't be happier. I'm very new to the industry, so I'm still getting used to everything. It's hard because it's a massive farm and we milk around 20L of milk every shift, but again, I think I found my job. I applied for this position because thank to a trip to the countryside, Irish dairy farming really stood out to me. So I applied for two jobs, my current one in my town in Spain, and to another one for calving season in Ireland (I think I talked about it here before). But l let it go and I chose the one in my town because despite being a massive farm, I felt some vertigo moving abroad to work in something new with no experience at all.
Now I'm learning and it turns out my intuition was spot on, and I'm deeply passionate about this field, I feel as though a completely new horizon of opportunities is opening up, and I don't rule out actually pursuing my dream in a couple of years, once I feel I have the sufficient preparation.
I just wanted to write and say that, even though I come from a completely different sector (the legal field) I'm absolutely delighted with dairy farming and find it to be a very challenging and exciting job.
