A young Galway farmer has won the Teagasc farm safety art competition.
As part of Farm Safety Week, Jessy the sheepdog, the Teagasc farm safety mascot, hosted an art competition for children to show her how they stay safe with livestock on the farm.
The competition aimed to educate kids about the risks and dangers associated with livestock and to inspire farm families to consider farm safety.
Jessy would like to express her gratitude to everyone who made the enormous effort to enter the competition, which received over 100 amazing submissions.
