A very good book on sheep keeping. I have just a few books on sheep; this in one of them. It is well written and easy to understand, and has very good information based on the author's experience also. You can learn alot. I especially like the chart for feeding orphan lambs (quantity of milk per feeding, how frequently, number of feedings, how many days you will be feeding, etc.). I have relied on my copy most heavily for that information! I did find that it is a little harder to "find" information in this book, due to the way it is organized... but still a very valuable book.
