Irish Jaunt - Day 5 - Visit to a working farm

We dropped into Rathbaun Farm and met a family as they carried out their everyday chores. The farmer, Finton, explained that their main export was lamb -- with most of the lamb going to France.

The farm converted to organic about five years ago and the transition was not easy. We witnessed the sheep dog retrieve some sheep. He was an old dog, about 14 years old but he still performed his job well.

Afternoon tea and scones was served to everyone and we all had the opportunity to visit the thatch house. As we were leaving, Finton brought his two mares to visit. As it was springtime, the mares were pregnant and there were baby lambs all over!
