If you only have one book on sheep, this is it!

I own a sheep operation with over 100 ewes. I always recommend this book to new producers when they purchase sheep from me. Storey's Guide to Raising Sheep covers all the basic information: breeds, feeding, shelter requirements, diseases, care for lambs and adults, even what to do with the wool from your sheep. I use it for a ready reference, and I have been known to GIVE a copy to new shepherds. There are chapters on fencing, livestock guardian dogs, pasture management, and herding dogs. There is even a section covering products and marketing. This book is thorough, yet easily understood even by a novice. If you want to raise sheep, read this book first so you'll be prepared to bring your first ones home.

Impressive!

This book is a definite must for anyone thinking sheep! It seems that nothing goes missing from this read. It gives you all the info you need for basics and even emergencies. It doesn't make the negative overwhelming for those prospective shepherds out there and it adds a happy light to the joys of raising these docile animals. I was surprised and glad to see the information on rare breeds- I am leaning in that direction. A wonderful compilation that merits it name "the small-scale sheep-raiser's bible." If you are wondering in any way, shape, or form about sheep, reach for this book before any other! An enjoyable and informative book!

Storey's Guide to Raising Sheep

This is an excellent book for those interested in raising sheep and for those that are already doing so. Excellent addition to your library. Very good chapters on breeds and on gaurdian dogs. Really enjoyed the "shepard's story's" scattered throughout the book!
