  Came here in late September. Absolutely wonderful sheepdog demonstration. Very informative and very friendly people. The dogs are beautiful and do their job well! Such a fun thing to witness and experience. Also the surrounding country area around the farm is breathtaking. Probably my favorite drive in all of Ireland!
