Working Sheep Dog demonstration

This now takes place on a different farm and so the text needs to be updated as below - Come experience farm life in Ireland for yourself. This sheep farm is a traditional working Connemara mountain farm that has been passed down through generations. It has about 200 ewes and lambs that roam freely in the mountains above Killary Fjord. When you arrive, you will be greeted by Tom, the farmer, who will begin the farm tour with a sheepdog herding demonstration. These extremely intelligent dogs are trained from the time they are puppies, and it is amazing to watch them in action! A picturesque country walk through the farm grounds is also included in the tour, with sweeping views of Killary Fjord and the mountain ranges beyond. Then, try your hand at bog-cutting with a slean (turf spade), a centuries-old method of harvesting peat for heating homes.
