Farm / Vet Related Volunteering Opportunities For 16yo?

[Skink 10]

My daughter is looking for some experience working with animals,  either farm or veterinary, preferably larger animals, maybe help with lambing, milking etc that sort of thing

 

Have asked around the folks we know but we don't know any farmers or where to start really, any thoughts?

You could try emailing the Yorkshire Young Farmers Federation on this email address: [email protected]

 

Ask them to put you in touch with the closest young farmer's club. Someone there should be able to give you some other contacts that would be help find someone that could offer some work experience. When contacting them, and it really needs to be your daughter that contacts them, she should stress her maturity and her interest in farming.
