The Sheep Book by Ron Parker
$41.95
The Sheep Book carries the reader along through a year in a sheep’s life during which sheep and shepherd form a symbiosis. A knowledgeable shepherd manages a flock in such a way as to provide an appropriate environment for all phases of the annual journey from breeding through pregnancy, lambing, growing of lambs, marketing of lamb and wools, and revitalization of the sheep for another cycle. The Sheep Book guides the reader to working with the instincts of the sheep―treating them as animals with special talents and ways of behaving that can be engaged and directed. The reader is encouraged to learn from the sheep, for they are the best teachers of a successful shepherd.
New (2001) revised and updated version of this book that is deservedly very popular among small and medium-sized sheep producers. Very readable, but detailed and accurate. ISBN – 0804010323
