Hobby farmer Sue Weaver provides a perfect primer in Sheep, ideal for novice or experienced sheep keepers looking to expand their hobby farm with a flock of wooly wonders. Illustrated with instructive and beautiful color photographs and loaded with charts and sidebars, this Hobby Farms title will make even newcomers feel comfortable choosing, caring for, and even sheering and milking their own sheep. Weaver begins, “Be they pets or profit makers, sheep should be part of every small-farm scene. They are inexpensive to buy and keep, easy to care for, and relatively long lived, making them great investments.” While sheep dotting a green meadow add beauty—and a possible tax write-off—to any pastoral setting, hobby farmers can choose whether their sheep will be sold as pets, used as providers of milk, cheese, or wool, or raised as livestock for their much sought-after mutton. As a subject, sheep have a fascinating history to tell, as Weaver does in the opening chapter “Sheep from the Beginning,” but once we get through the mythology, biology, and anatomical lessons, the farming begins. Sheep will assist the reader in buying the right sheep for his or her farm or land, based on availability, conformation, health, and so forth. The book offers practical advice, including how to move sheep from one locale to another (with a “ewe haul”). Sheep farming involves the housing, feeding, and guarding of the sheep, all detailed in the book. Weave discusses the use of fences, shelters, pens, and stalls as well as the purchase of the right hay. She also addresses the use of working dogs to control and guard the flock. Understanding sheep behavior is the subject of the chapter “Sheepish Behavior and Safe Handling,” in which the author discusses flocking dynamics, fleeing instinct, and sheep body and vocal language, leading to practical advice about how to handle and move sheep safely and with minimal fuss. The old adage “A sick sheep is a dead sheep” may not hold completely true in modern times, but it does underscore how important the health of a flock is to a responsible sheep keeper. The chapter “Health, Maladies, and Hooves” (and the appendix “A Glance at Sheep Afflictions”) offers farmers vital information about vaccinations, parasites, and hoof care to be proactive in the flock’s health. For hobby farmers interested in expanding their flocks, the chapter “The Importance of Proper Breeding” is a mini course in breeding and lambing, including bottle feeding, tail banding, and more. All of the joys of wool are captured in the chapter “Fleece: Shearing, Selling, Spinning,” in which the author discusses the tools, skills, and fees required to fleece the flock. The chapter also discusses spinning your own wool and selling the fleece. The final chapter, “Mutton or Milk?” discusses the advantages and desirability of sheep’s milk and the possible markets for milk, cheese, and meat. A glossary of over 100 terms, an extensive resources section (sheep-pertinent organizations, websites, and publications), and an index complete the volume.Shipping Notes

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Incredible Comfort – Like Sleeping in a Luxury Hotel Every Night!
I am beyond impressed with the DIORIS Pillows Queen Size Set of 2! From the moment I laid my head on them, I knew I had found my new favorite pillows. They strike the perfect balance between soft and supportive, making them ideal for back, stomach, and side sleepers like me and my partner.
The fluffy down alternative fill feels just like the real thing—plush, breathable, and incredibly comfortable without triggering my allergies. These pillows don’t flatten out overnight either; they maintain their shape and bounce back beautifully each morning.
What really stood out to me was the hotel-quality feel. The outer fabric is smooth, skin-friendly, and breathable, helping me stay cool and sweat-free throughout the night. I wake up feeling refreshed, well-rested, and with no neck pain—which is a huge win!
If you're looking for affordable luxury, I highly recommend these DIORIS pillows. They’ve completely upgraded my sleep experience, and I’ll definitely be buying another set for the guest bedroom!

Helps you get a good night's rest
Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
These are my favorite pillows. I've had so much neck pain and headaches in the morning. This all stopped once I started using them. They hold up their shape and seem like they are good quality. My husband kept trying to steal my pillow, so I had to order him his own. You won't be disappointed in these pillows, and you'll get much better sleep.

Very soft!
Color: Blue, Size: Queen Size Set of 2
I like the softness of these pillows. They are too bulky for me but my husband loves his. I’ve been using a flat pillow for too long. I may just need to adjust to it.
