A farm in the west of the Island is hoping to give tourists close encounters with Loaghtan sheep.
Ballacosnahan Farm in Patrick has applied for planning permission to build accommodation for visitors.
The farm already produces wool and meat from Loaghtans, but says it wants to create a three-bedroomed holiday flat.
The work would be carried out as part of a long-term development plan which would see new facilities to help the company develop.
