A must own book - By: jane white, 27 Nov 2007 
I feel if everyone who owns or works with sheep only ever buys one book this is the one to get. You may think it is pricy but believe me it is invaluable. Fantastic to help you diagnose problems & help you understand how to dael with them. Set outin an easy to use manner. Covers all the problems from lambing right through the sheeps life. Also includes a practical managment section. Make sure you own this book.
All a flockmaster could want in one book. - By: J V Tom, 29 Apr 2000 D Henderson has perfected the balance between practical aspects & science to create a managerial guide & reference volumein one book.
Seriously sheepish people will benefit from these pages; whether shepherd, farmer, or student as just about everything is covered -in a way that's interesting & understandable, yet informative &in enough depth to get to the root of the problem. Cure yes, but also prevention!
I'd had my eye (from a distance) on this book for a long while, I now regret not acquiring it sooner.
A "must have" book for anyone who keeps sheep - By: , 21 Aug 1999 The bible for everyone who keeps sheep from smallholders to large scale farmers.
David Henderson is a practising vetin the UK but with experiencein the US as well. The book reflects his expertise, & sometimes clashes with traditional farming practice, usually explaining why.
The book is well illustrated, with mainly black & white photographs, as well as illustrations where appropriate. I have used the book for seven years & never found a problem that couldn't be diagnosed.
When professional help is required is addressed well, but details are usually provided for those that are more confident & want to have ago themselves. The book isn't at all patronising towards the general farmer.
Buy it now, have a browse & then keep it handy for when things go wrong.
