Updated portions - It is a changing world, so updates to some of the information can be useful. The original text can't be changed, but updates will be made available on line as new information reaches me. At present the following sections in Appendix 6 have updates, as well as some general health notes. Books, Sheep Breed Associations, Sheep Health Notes, Sheep Management Computer Software, and Tanning Pelts


I hope you enjoy taking a look at The Sheep Book . Naturally I and Ohio University Press will not be at all unhappy if you decide to buy a copy, but that is up to you. This free distribution is in the spirit that the Internet should be available to all without or at minimal cost.
