"If 'a picture is worth a thousand words', Sheep Health scores highly on readability and ease of use, with plenty of sensible, practical advice. Definitely a book to own, for anyone keeping sheep or thinking of doing so."

"Novice sheep keepers would do well to buy this book when planning a new flock. It would enable them to avoid many time-wasting and costly mistakes. It would stand alone as a reference for several years and continue to be valuable long afterwards."
