poultry breedertocattle breeder
A poultry breeder already meets 72% of what the cattle breeder role asks for. The move turns on 9 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 40.2 of 100 · moderate
1 Share of the cattle breeder role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the poultry breeder profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 35 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cattle breeder role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a poultry breeder background worth leading with.

- already held dispose of dead animals handling and moving
- already held assess management of animals information skills
- already held care for juvenile animals handling and moving
- already held operate farm equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 35 carried skills, including the 21 the cattle breeder role treats as required.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a cattle breeder role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
