Which are the best that are sheep related? Extra knowledge can't be a bad thing and I love books ;D

You won't go far wrong with "The Sheep Book for Smallholders (http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Sheep-Book-Smallholders-Tyne/dp/190487164X)" by Tim Tyne.
Worth it's weight in gold :thumbsup: .

2 books i have found very good are; "Practical Sheep Keeping", by Kim Cardell, which was a great all round book for beginers. And absolute must is "A Manual of Lambing Techniques", by Agne Winter and Cicely Hill. The second of these is an ironclad guide to lambing, i have often found myself elbow deep in a ewe going WHAT!!! and opened the book and found the correct answer, even if that was to call vet.

yup, Tim Tyne's book.

Brilliant thank you, are there any in depth books on worms/parasites/etc? The lady in water stones thought I was mental when I asked :roflanim:. The vets have an armful of leaflets for me to collect and also I've persuaded the local agri merchant to keep me things too.

Google SCOPS and sheep, all on the web. Don't think there is a book on it.
