Sheep make a wonderful addition to the farmstead. They provide fiber and meat, both potential side sources of in- come to an off-farm job. In a small-scale farm enterprise, sheep fit well into a low-input farming system because they need minimal housing if lambing coincides with warm spring weather. The Art of Small-Scale Farming with Sheep: A Little Book Full of All the Information You Need provides you with the necessary resources and information needed to get started. You will learn how to raise and care for sheep and their lambs, by choosing the right breed, how to house, pasture, feed and breed them, what to do if they are ill and the shearing and butchering processes.

If you are interested in raising sheep on your small farm, then this is the little book full of all the information you will need!
