Rating: - Dreaming in Koganecho
Who would think that a book about sheep would be interesting? Paula's simple but direct writing style is as stunning as a Charles Bukowski take on drinking in dives in the dirtiest parts of town. UI've never read an animal husbandry book better than this.

Rating: - Another Garden Way Classic
Like the title states this is another standard cranked out by the folks at GardenWay publishing, now don't get me wrong their information has been the staple for many a years and is still very useful today but this publishing house is not exactly known for their updating. Paula Simmons is a figurehead in her field and has some truely great advice and experience to give so listen to it folks even though it may be as old as your sheep's great grandsire. Defineltly a book anyone new to the livestock industry should have around for constant checking and even the occasional read through, I am a firm believer in information and research and so believe that even dated material is important. So if you are truely interested, buy this one for reference and keep building your library, do your own research develop a foundation of knowledge and no matter what your flock encounters you can overcome it and you can look happily out at your beautiful lambs one day and say with pride " I did it ".

Rating: - Don't bother buying this book
It's a good book but it has been revised and updated under the title "Storey's Guide to Raising Sheep." I didn't know this - bought the Storey's Guide, but sheep breeders kept recommending this one. So I bought it too, and then learned that it's simply the previous version of the Storey's Guide. So buy the newer one.

Rating: - Sheep Farming is not for Me

If you've ever thought to yourself, "Maybe I should quit the rat race and become a sheep farmer", this is the book to bring you back to your senses. After 15 minutes with this book I realized I was not cut out to raise livestock. Raising sheep is difficult work, and the sheep are, by and large, nasty little creatures. Check out the chapters on sheep parasites! Or how to deal with difficult lambings.

The book is highly detailed and vividly illustrated, so if you are going to raise sheep, it probably is pretty helpful.

Rating: - Rasing Sheep The Modern Way
This is some serious book, no wasted pages here. From chapter 1 to the end is a steady flow of information. The Pictures are clear and plenty. This book is an excellent book.
