Overview

Jamese McCloy is a fourth-generation shepherd who wants to show people sheep farming and particularly his highly trained team of working sheepdogs. He invites visitors to his farm, set deep in the beautiful, landscape of the Sperrin Mountains. Jamese provides a personal experience to all visitors that embarks on his farm. He has a special way of working with his three sheepdogs, Moss, Tess & Jess. When you visit the farm you will see them up close, working together, communicating using body language, whispers and whistles - they make a great team! In addition to the sheepdog experience, individuals and groups are also welcomed to witness Jamese shearing the wool off the sheep, displaying both methods, the old-style traditional hand-shears and the more modern electric shears. Jamese has carefully planned his shearing experience so it can be enjoyed at any time of year, with animal comfort and welfare kept as the top priority. “From the moment visitors pull up they immediately absorb the fresh, clean, mountain air with panoramic views tapping into their senses and emotions; giving them a chance to feel rooted, part of something traditional and special.” - Jamese McCloy.
