Editorial Review:
What every breeder, farmer and hobbyist needs to know about caring for sheep, including how to meet all health needs. There are even tips on how to process a sheep's wool! Nearly ten pages of color photos, plus many black-and-white drawings.
The most extensive line of basic pet information and training guides on the market, Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are written by experts, and profusely illustrated with full-color photos and instructive, high-quality line art. Each manual is individually written. Not one of Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals is a clone from a single common catch-all book, with one or two chapters added on to make it appear new. Instead, each Barron's manual has been planned, designed, and written from scratch--always by an experienced breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or qualified expert.

Wonderful information & very thorough!
This book has loads of wonderful information! I am going to become a leader with a 4-H sheep club and it has lots of wonderful, valuable information!
Great for kids, prime candidate for free ebook!
A subtitle on the front cover claims this is a complete owner's manual. Well.....I guess the operative word is manual, not book or text.
Having said that, I must admit the booiklet would be a great gift idea for one's son or daughter, niece or nephew, or grandchild who might be considering sheep in a Future Farmer's of America (FFA) project or who might just be curious. Then, the prospective youth might whet his or her appetite sufficiently to choose a more complete book.
A GREAT book for beginners interested in purchasing sheep.
Would highly recommend this book to anyone who has no experience in the sheep industry. For the beginner who has yet to purchase sheep, it covers everything from how to make your first purchase, care and housing, feeding, illnesses, breeding, products of sheep and more. A small, inexpensive, yet informative book that will give the reader an idea of what sheep require in order to remain healthy.
Very Little Information about each subject.
I felt this book did not give enough information about the subjects they were to have special sections for. It gave just enough information on each subject to get many beginers in trouble. I bought the book for the special section on shearing. There was one paragraph and a referance page to see a picture the was not even on that page. This book was deffinatly a disapointment.
