Practical Lambing, 1994 Andrew Eales , John Small, David Pollock (Illustrator) Blackwell Science (UK); ISBN: 0582210046 Dan Morrical, PhD of Iowa State Univ. Recommends this one

The Merck Veterinary Manual 8th Edition, 1998, Merck and Co. ISBN 0-91191-029-8 is now available on line at www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.jsp

Here is a 2006 update from Robin McEwen-King about the above book - The Veterinary Guide for Sheep Farmers, He also included some additional books in his message.

I spoke to him some years ago and he planned a revised version ... Unfortunately it seem he is now fully retired and looks like the book is out of print as not listed on Amazon (UK nor USA). May still be some at Pipevet or other outlets. His colleagues at The Moredun may do a revision     Note I hear from another source that there was an update published in December 2002 - Ron Parker

Meanwhile some more recent books from UK .. Starting with a couple of books by Agnes Winter may help

A Manual of Lambing Techniques  by Agnes Winter, Cicely W. Hill (Hardcover - 24 Feb 2003)

The Sheep Keeper's Veterinary Handbook  by Judith Charnley, Agnes C. Winter (Hardcover - 20 Sep 1999)

Both are great for newcomers or old hands looking for an update... The lambing book has the best guide to all those odd presentations you hope never to meet .... But if you lamb enough you will

For those who want the technical details try Diseases of Sheep by W. B. Martin (Editor), et al (Hardcover - June 15, 2000)

Contributions on sheep diseases from international experts from all over the sheep world

For alternative medicine approach look at. The Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable by Juliette De Bairacli Levy (Paperback - March 25, 1991)
