This is a straightforward book that has more information than the sheep and goat guides geared for lay people. A lot of small flock folks have vets who don't do much sheep medicine, or it is geared for large commercial flocks. So it is very helpful to be able to be able to have the information you need to make decisions about problems in the flock that may differ from a commercial sheep grower's decision about an individual animal.

I might be a little odd, but I read the whole book and enjoyed it.

I returned this book after ordering it because I found it significantly less accurate, smaller photos, disrespectful attitude about floppy-kid disease, less complete than Goat Medicine by Mary Smith and David Sherman.

My husband is a small animal veterinarian and I am an RN (before kids and hobby farming). This book may be a bit too technical for some, but would be useful for most shepherds looking to triage their flock or individual animals. Won't replace a veterinarian :-) BUT - can help you know when to call in the professional!

This book was a gift to a granddaughter, so I don't know the effectiveness of the information contained within. Certainly had quick shipment and I am hoping it was just what she wanted.
