Short but comprehensive beginner guide to raising sheep.

Though this book is "for kids" it's one of my favorites because it is written for kid it's easier to understand and it has all the basic info average sheep raisers should know.

This is a decent book, it is definatly geared toward children, especially those interested in 4-h.
