The Veterinary Book for Sheep Farmers
(Hardcover)This book is much-expanded and updated edition of
a previous volume, published in 1996 as "No-tillage Seeding: Science and Practice".
The base objective remains to describe, in lay terms, a range of international
experiments designed to examine the causes of successes and failures in no-tillage.
The book summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of no tillage. It highlights
the pros and cons of a range of features and options, without promoting any
particular product. This work describes: soil carbon and how its retention or
sequestration interacts with tillage and no-tillage; controlled traffic farming as
an adjunct to no-tillage; comparison of the performance of generic no-tillage
opener designs; the role of banding fertilizer in no-tillage; the economics of
no-tillage; small-scale equipment used by poorer farmers; forage cropping by
no-tillage; and a method for risk assessment of different levels of machine
sophistication.

Sheep Book: A Handbook for the Modern
Shepherd
P Product Description
Sheep raising is as popular today as it has been
for thousands of years. Some raise sheep as a hobby or sideline, others as
their sole source of income. No matter what the goal, successful sheep growing
is a cooperation between sheep and shepherd, with each learning about the other
in mutually productive ways. The Sheep Book is about the needs and psyche of
sheep. It is about fundamentals of feeding, health, care, breeding, selection,
and marketing. It is most of all a narrative that will prepare the sheep raiser
to learn and to think and to grow. Organized according to the natural
reproductive cycle of the sheep, The Sheep Book carries the reader along
through a year in a sheep's life during which sheep and shepherd form a rich
symbiosis. A knowledgeable shepherd manages a flock in such a way as to provide
an appropriate environment for all phases of the annual journey from breeding
through pregnancy, lambing, growing of lambs, marketing of lambs and wool, and
revitalization of the sheep for another cycle. The Sheep Book guides the reader
to treat a sheep like a sheep, working with the instincts of the sheep -
trating them as animals with special talents and ways of behaving that can be
engaged and directed. The reader is encouraged to learn from the sheep, for
they are the best teachers of a successful shepherd.
