Summary

One of the many things I do, the farm requires me to know the anatomy of the pigs so I can treat them properly with care. Whether it's helping a mom pig give birth or to sit with the piglets to make sure they get their milk from mom. In the store I greet customers daily and make sure they find what they need. Another task is knowing the cuts of a cow and pig and knowing where it's from. Im very organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. Very outgoing and friendly willing to meet anyone.
