Help
work with felix:
"Limousines" cows are outside all year long. they spent their life eating grass( they do not eat crops or fermented grass) , scratching and gamboling. i raise them for the meat.
my farming system uses very few inputs, but requires outdoor work
I need help with the domestication of cows, fences, cutting weeds with a scythe, births, keeping the cows, diging, chopping wood, fencing, training the donkey...
I do not use modern machinery a lot, and you would not use it also.
in summer, cows care does not requires so much time.
Volunteer work depends of the season.
You don t need to be skilled on farming , fast and hard worker or have good knowledge on countryside living. i just ask u to be intyerested about cows and farming, and children care.
you wuill have lot of free tyime so you will have to find your own hobbies
-Take care of Emile: Great if you have a small experience in 4-5years old childs.

AND:
