How ye lads im from the premier county situated in the fertile Suir Valley. On this a while but i better introduce myself. Im only a young lad whose still in college studying Land Management. i love the out doors and hardship so i suppose farming was ideal. our main enterprise is a 500 ewe flock and growing. We finish a few store lambs. I look after the bull beef operation which is slowly getting bigger. I started out contracting last year so im kept going during the summer months at that. On the look out aswell for a woman with a bitta road frontage aswell and a hefty Single Farm Payment !! :P as the saying goes "his so hungry for land he'd eat clay".
