Kissane
Sheep Farm is a traditional, working sheep
farm with approximately 1.000 mountain sheep
and hundreds of lambs. The farm
is run by John Kissane and his son, Sean, as
it has been run by the family for the last
150
years.
In
May 2005, the farm was opened for visitors
to enjoy and to learn about sheep farming in
Ireland. Many groups and individuals have since
visited the farm enjoying its activities:
Sheepdog
demonstrations
Sheep shearing demonstrations
Cuddle and bottle feed the orphan (pet)
lambs
Marked mountain walks
Puzzle Walk and Treasure Trail
