Joyce Country Sheepdogs

Admire the sheer skill of the dogs as they round up sheep scattered across the hillside, obeying every whistled command from their master and best friend, the shepherd at Joyce Country Sheepdogs. Explore the Sheep and Wool Trail Map

Experience:

Visit a family-run farm deep in Joyce country. No relation to James Joyce – the author, the Joyce clan owned vast tracts of land around here since medieval times.  Much of the lonely acres in the Joyce Country and Western Lakes geopark are devoted to hill sheep farming.
