The experience

Supporting us to farm sheep: gathering, feeding, drenching, shearing and weaning. We produce our own lamb and sell directly to restaurants and hotels across Ireland. WE also have Connemara Ponies - Brood mares, youngstock and foals - horse experience would be an added bonus. ITs outdoor living and its hard work - dont bother applying if you dont know what hard work is.
