As both the above say this a great book for any sheep keeper, a must for the small flock owner, but also of interest to the larger farmer. The seems to cover just about everyting you need to know in a practical easy to use sort of way - invaluable when you come rushing in from the farm to check on something.

A brilliant book. I have a small flock of Lincoln Longwools that arent the easiest of sheep to learn with. This book was by my side during my first lambing with them, and every lamb was delivered healthy, I feel thanks to the help offered by this book. I have never lambed before and certainly never investigated up a sheeps rear end!!! I had to pull all bar one of the lambs out, with some up to 9kg in size. I wouldnt of had the confidence to do it without some help, and all I had was this book!! Buy it.. if you're new with sheep it'll be of great use. It also offers advice on all round shepherding/land management and sale.

If I could afford only one book on sheep, this would be it.

This is an excellent book and I have found it an invaluable reference work. We run a small flock of DorsetX sheep and this is one of the books we refer to most. It is primarily intended for keepers of small flocks (20-100 ewes). It covers a wide variety of topics and if I could afford only one book, this would be it. Anyone who has livestock or a small farm will find it useful. I have found the chapters on grassland management and marketing particularly helpful. These topics are often omitted from books of this type. If your lambing percentage is low, or your lambs fail to get top price then you could benefit from this book, we certainly have. It is, as the name suggests, a practical guide. There is plenty of good advice from someone who has obviously done it.

Two other books I would strongly recommend are 'The Veterinary Book for Sheep Farmers' by David Henderson and 'Practical Lambing' by Andrew Eales.
