Absolutely brilliant book, I have lambed for 8 years now and every year I have this book in my lambing kit. It has helped save many lives. It has soo much information about the whole lambing event, pre lambing and post lambing care. If you have sheep buy this book. I now have two copies to make sure I always have it available.

It is a handy book to have around if you want a quick catch up or idea of a technique. Nothing will beat experience at lambing, but I do like to keep this book on my desk.

A very useful book to refresh yourself with before lambing. Covers most of the things that you will need to consider and prepare yourself; before, during and after lambing. This book is ideal for students studying Agriculture or Veterinary science's etc. Equally this book is ideal for anyone with a keen interest in sheep.

As mentioned above this book covers 'most' of the information that should be read-up on, before jumping into the lambing pens. Two great books that compliment this one are:

Sheep Health, Husbandry and Disease: A Photographic Guide
Practical Sheep Keeping

Erm. I know nothing about lambing. Don't even want to know about it. But my daughter is very into farming and wants to study it at Uni. She loved the book and promptly went of lambing. The people that own the farm were impressed with her knowledge - so thats a superb recommendation for the book. If you like lambing and want to know more about it - this is the Bible!

This type of manual is a must have for newbies to lambing. I definately feared the worst after reading what all could go wrong but really it is the worst case senario guide not common occurances. I liked that it was in a format that I could reference in the barn if I needed to. So far I haven't needed to.
