Welcome to Kenmare

We stopped in the small town of Kenmare for lunch before we headed out into the countryside for a visit to a working sheep farm.  We got demonstrations of how the sheep dogs work the flocks and then we saw a shearing demonstration.   It was amazing how far away the dogs could hear their handlers whistle (from his mouth) and know what to do based on the different sounds.
