Bertie & Joe
Bertie Martin - VetTech Originally from an Equine background Bertie jumped ship and joined the LLM farm team in May 2018 after spending 18 months in New Zealand; as well as jumping 16,500ft from a plane Bertie also continued her “adrenaline junky” run by spending a season calf rearing on a dairy farm. During her spare time Bertie is a keen member of her local Young Farmers Club getting stuck in with all competitions from public speaking to Morris dancing. With a degree in Sport Science and Drama you’re guaranteed a “ewenique” service.

Joe Wheeler - VetTech My love of farming began in my early years when I started helping out on a small beef farm on Anglesey. After studying Agriculture with Livestock at Cirencester, I realised dairy was my real calling; by the time my graduation ceremony came around I was already in New Zealand working on a dairy farm. I went on to work across a variety of farming systems, from block calving and grass-based to 365 calving and fully housed, with a particular interest in improving lameness and nutrition. In my spare time I enjoy shooting, working my Collie and exploring the countryside.”
