VIDEO: Meet Kildare schoolgirl Emma - one of Ireland's youngest sheep breeders

Kildare student Emma Jane Ginty (16) has set up her own flock of Dorset sheep and is one of Ireland's youngest registered breeders.

Emma told the Irish Farmers Journal: "I grew up farming. My mam and I kept pet lambs for neighbours.

"When I was 14 I asked for a Dorset ram for my birthday and that’s really when I established my own flock.

"I hope to pursue farming in the future anyway, and possibly study ag science in college. There are a lot of opportunities out there.”
