Conal Keane, Matthew McGauran and Niall O Beirne are three young men with a lot in common: They’re passionate about farming, have a keen eye for a good cow and they all have Down Syndrome.
Thanks to Social Farming Ireland, they’ve spent the last 10 weeks working on an organic beef farm in their home county of Leitrim. And they’ve loved every minute of it.
Micéal Heslin runs his farm in the pretty townland of Gortletteragh. The boys’ hours were spent tending to geese, feeding and caring for some beautiful Aubrac cattle and helping to erect fencing. all interspersed with cups of hot tea and steaming bowls of beef stew.
