The World

In the beautiful countryside of south-western Ireland sheep sometimes stray. That’s where Brendan Ferris comes in. He’s a shepherd. You can usually find him at his farm, the Kells Sheep Center. It’s located on the Ring of Kerry, which is the answer, by the way, to our Geo Quiz. Ferris has won several sheep-herding competitions. Here he is with his border collie Max and a roaming flock of sheep in a distant field.
