In this sheep breeds book Jack Byard takes us alphabetically through 40 of the breeds which are the most likely to be seen on British farms (and as many Australian breeds originate in Britain the content is relevant in the Australian context).
For each breed he dedicates two pages, the left being a full page high-quality picture and the right giving a brief but informative description of the appearance, history and uses of each sheep.
Only the size of a postcard, the book fits perfectly into a rucksack or pocket so is ideal for the interested rambler who is keen to discover more about the flock fleeing from him at the time.
Clear colour photographs taken of sheep ‘straight from the field’ illustrate the immense diversity within this species.
