 Really 4 1/2 stars --- great, but slightly dated May 22, 2006

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.
A must for sheep farmers September 12, 2002

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.
 Excellent practical information. October 6, 2000
