Format:Paperback
I have a commercial flock and am always on the lookout for new books that may have a little something new, up to date or old fashioned, you know, how to keep the costs down , anyone with enough common sense knows to change a needle regularly, how about a sharps bin we use one! No real mention of giving peritoneal jabs, flow chart great, or how to help the ewe who has ring womb ( ring the vet), now i know that farming is on the decline but it seems the same answer --- get your vet. as a book for beginners great, for use old timers a shame

Useful book for the shepherd
1 Feb 2007
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book provides a good, concise overview of health issues of lambs and pregnant ewes. Though written for a British audience, much of the book applies to North American sheep as well. Very useful pictures and straightforward information, including likely prognoses...always helpful when managing an ill animal.
