4.0 out of 5 stars
A must for sheep farmers,
By Ian Caldicott (Scio, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Veterinary Book for Sheep Farmers (Hardcover)
If you raise sheep you should have a copy of this book. It is a great reference. The only fault I find is that it could use a symptom based index.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Really 4 1/2 stars --- great, but slightly dated,
By Just Me (here and there across the USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Veterinary Book for Sheep Farmers (Hardcover)
This book is thorough and humane. The author is a shepherd, turned veterinarian. Very knowledgable. Lots of practical information. Written in UK, but doesn't really effect the usefullness of the book. But be aware that the 2002 edition is apparently just a reprint of the 1992 edition, not updated, which means the info may be slightly behind the times.
