3.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother buying this book, July 24, 2001

This review is from: Raising Sheep the Modern Way . Updated and Revised Edition (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent primer on the subject of sheep., December 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Raising Sheep the Modern Way . Updated and Revised Edition (Paperback)

Raising Sheep the Modern Way covers everthing from breeds of sheep to recipes. It is a must read for anyone new to raising sheep, and is a good reference book for the experienced shepherd as well. I have been in the sheep business for 14 years. I purchased the book when I bought my first ewe, and I still refer to it a couple of times each year.

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.
