Kissane Sheep Farm — Attraction in Kenmare Municipal District

I don't know what you're doing in Ireland. I don't know your plans or what city you're visiting, but I implore to take your time to check out the Kissane Sheep Farm!

"Happens all the time here," he said. Well worth the drive and visit, if for no other reason than to me some...

This place is absolutely worth it! Call ahead and see if they're doing a tour for a big group cause you can hop in on those. (Min of 15 people required for tour.) They have a fascinating sheep herding exhibition with their sheep dogs and afterwards you watch one guy shear a sheep both with electric clippers and old fashioned shears. The two tour guides are really knowledgeable since this is also their job and they've been sheep farmers since they were boys. They know the history and really care for their sheep. The tours pay for their farm and allow them to raise 2,000 sheep without killing a single one for produce, while also maintaining a...
