I saw my friend's copy of this book... it's great! Really well organized, and very informative, with good charts and graphics, etc.... really handy. I was surprised that it covered just about everything we could think of off the top of our heads that you'd need to know! If someone were starting out with sheep and got just one general "guide", I'd get this one. It wasn't available when I got started! It's handy that you can hang it up in the barn too.
