As one of the most popular and loved of all farm animals, sheep provide us not only with myriad goods, from soft wool to fine meat, but also with companionship. "Living With Sheep" is packed with expert knowledge about raising and caring for a flock of sheep, and written in a manner suitable for the would-be farmer or those who just enjoy animals and the outdoors. This comprehensive volume covers everything from choosing and acquiring a flock of sheep, through appropriate food, shelter and health care, breeding and the lambing process, to gathering wool, milk and meat. This is the ultimate volume for anyone who shares a love for these humble animals, and a must-have if you have ever considered raising your own flock.
