WINTER GRAZING - Your time is up!

It's time to move the crossbred ewes out of the ground we had leased for the winter months and into their maternity fields. This is where they will give birth and rear their lambs! I hope you enjoy today's video!

Hello!

My name is Joanne Devaney.
I am a sheep shearer and I help on the home sheep farm in the Northwest of Ireland. We have mountain sheep on three separate mountains around the county. We also keep a small flock of lowland sheep. We have 6 sheepdogs: Spotty + Jessie (my dogs), Glen (who I often work too!), Jock, Sally and Casey. My favourite time of year is the lambing in Spring. I love assisting ewes and saving little lives, and nothing lifts the spirit like lambs playing in the field!

I am in 2nd year of Agricultural Science in University College Dublin. I'm majoring in Animal and Crop Production. I shear in competitions in the Intermediate shearing grade. I came 3rd in the All-Nations Intermediate shearing at the World Shearing and Woolhandling Championships in France in 2019 as well as winning the Best Pen prize. I came 11th in the All Nations Womens Shearing. In August 2020 I shore 351 sheep in 8 hours. Check out my YouTube video on it!    • SHEARING 351 SHEEP IN 8 HOURS - #FARM24  

I'm on the National Woolhandling team and came 4th in the All Nations Senior Woolhandling in France in 2019. I came 29th in the World Championship Woolhandling too! I spent 8 months in Australia in 2017/18 shearing and competing. I enjoy a little showjumping with my horse Phoebe. I also still own my first pony Patch, who is now ridden by my sister.
