Buy from

In an age that has seen unparalleled interest in personal food production, "Lambs for the Freezer" is a timely and comprehensive introduction to breeding and rearing lamb for home consumption.

Writing for the small-scale sheep keeper with little or no knowledge of rearing livestock, Sue Kendrick draws on her own extensive experience of keeping farm animals to guide the new shepherd through the whole process of breeding, rearing and ultimately filling their freezer with home produced lamb.

About the author

Sue Kendrick was born into a Leicestershire farming family and has kept a variety of livestock on her smallholding, including a small flock of Suffolk sheep. She bred and showed these for a number of years, consigning the less noteworthy specimens to her own and various friends' freezers!
