At his farm in Northern Ireland, Kenny Gracey raises breeds of farm animals that are native to the British Isles, such as long-horn cattle, Jacob sheep and saddleback pigs. But a few years back, his farm fell on hard times. Coincidentally, right around that same time, “Game of Thrones” began filming its first season and needed animals for the show’s background scenes. The show’s producers asked Gracey whether he’d be willing to supply these animals, and he agreed. This farm might be the only thing that didn’t die on “Game of Thrones.”

This reminds me of Shaun the sheep, but the farmer on the show wasn't that affectionate.
He supply the animals for the show and yet there's a scene in Game of Thrones in which someone mentioned to Tyrion, "There are no goats, halfman."
"Just a WEE farmer from count Armagh" awwww I love Northern Ireland
Why's there subtitles
:')
Why has he named the donkey as Joey ? …LOL
Reference : "Joey" from Friends (TV series).
Can't believe this guy lets a bunch of animals roam around his house. So gross!
This is adorable
you can see the love…
The people from the country here are so much nicer than the people in the towns and cities
where does he get the wolves for the dire wolf in game of thrones
Kenny, you are a good man and purensoul. I hope you can keep on with your good work for a very long time.

Great job Kenny 🙂

I grew up I the north part of Ireland raised animals and helped on the farm when I was a wee lad…
Plot twist: He is into Zoophilia
Sometimes, animals are actually better companions than people… honestly speaking

I like to touch the goat
It's funny how I got a game of thrones ad
Ireland is not british
i love how they go to different places and just makes a video or two that is just 2-minutes short, and each is unique from each other.. unlike some youtubers who go to one place and makes a whole channel about it..
He has Davos accent
"Joeeeyyy, I knooow darling."
Its people like him that deserve endless riches. He gives without thinking of himself. The evil and rich should take note.
Hands down, most heartwarming video ever
Why are there subtitles?
I don't see why you would need subtitles for this video
Being from England I find the fact that he has subtitles absurd.
