Kim Cardell

Practical Sheep Keeping [new paperback edition] explains everything you need to know to manage sheep and keep them healthy.

From choosing and buying, through housing, feeding and routine management, to breeding and lambing, Kim Cardell offers sound advice based on many years’ experience.
