About this product

Product Information

Sheep raising is as popular today as it has been for thousands of years. Some raise sheep as a hobby or sideline, others as their sole source of income. No matter what the goal, successful sheep growing is a cooperation between sheep and shepherd, with each learning about the other in mutually productive ways. The Sheep Book is about the needs and psyche of sheep. It is about fundamentals of feeding, health, care, breeding, selection, and marketing. It is most of all a narrative that will prepare the sheep raiser to learn and to think and to grow. Organized according to the natural reproductive cycle of the sheep, The Sheep Book carries the reader along through a year in a sheep's life during which sheep and shepherd form a rich 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 lambs and wool, and revitalization of the sheep for another cycle. The Sheep Book guides the reader to treat a sheep like a sheep, working with the instincts of the sheep - trating 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.
