Book Description

May 1, 2006
Raising sheep involves far more than choosing the perfect breed and training a herding dog. The successful sheep farmer must know how to maintain his animals’ health and solve daily crises, large and small.

Designed to accompany the farmer into the barn, Storey’s Barn Guide to Sheep provides clear, step-by-step help, visible from several feet away. Oversized, heavy-duty pages illustrate dozens of procedures with simple, straightforward illustrations. A nail hole at the top of each page enables the farmer to open to the needed instructions, hang the book on a barn wall, and refer to the step-by-step illustrations throughout every procedure.

Graphic presentations guide farmers through trimming hooves, administering injections, assisting with lambing, bottle feeding, milking, shearing, and every other situation that might arise during the normal course of a sheep’s life. In addition to the procedural information, the book also features full-color anatomical illustrations, a lambing calendar, a feeding chart, and a helpful record-keeping section.

Guiding farmers through the ups and downs of sheep care, Storey’s Barn Guide to Sheep will be a trusted companion and an invaluable practical resource.

About the Author

Since 1999. Storey's books are exciting and engaging for anyone seeking practical advice and inspiration on do-it-yourself topics from gardening and crafts, to nature, backyard building, cooking, animals, and home enjoyment. Storey authors are eager to share their hands-on expertise and down-home wisdom with readers of all ages and interests. If any publisher has remained true to its roots, it is Storey Publishing. The company began on July 1, 1983, with about 65 books and 100 bulletins on topics as varied as building your own log cabin, tanning leather yourself, and canning your garden's bumper crop of fruits and vegetables. Since then, Storey has become something that is rare in publishing today: a book publisher with a strong, independent streak and a deep backlist of more than 450 titles.
