2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Goat Medicine by Smith & Sherman, July 30, 2009

By	D. Hadorn (Harrah, OK USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I returned this book after ordering it because I found it significantly less accurate, smaller photos, disrespectful attitude about floppy-kid disease, less complete than Goat Medicine by Mary Smith and David Sherman.

This is a straightforward book that has more information than the sheep and goat guides geared for lay people. A lot of small flock folks have vets who don't do much sheep medicine, or it is geared for large commercial flocks. So it is very helpful to be able to be able to have the information you need to make decisions about problems in the flock that may differ from a commercial sheep grower's decision about an individual animal.
I might be a little odd, but I read the whole book and enjoyed it.
