Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Sheep and Shepherding I would like to call attention to the fact that Chapters XI. To XIX. Are specially designed to enable the inexperienced to follow out the work with the different sections of the flock day by day, and season by season, throughout the year. It sets out what the farmer actually has to do, and in this form I have been assured on many occasions that the year's shepherding and sheep management can be readily grasped by those whose experience is very limited. I would, therefore, suggest that these chapters be read consecutively, so that the thread of the work be gripped and intelligently understood. A mass of facts without connective ness rarely proves useful; and knowledge itself is of little use unless it is turned to account and in writing simply I have tried to reduce to practice anything that has been put forward, so that the least experienced may understand. I would urge the ancient adage With all thy getting, get understanding. To those who are devoting time to the making and improving of breeds, all owe thanks; doubtless they find in it ample interest and reward, for it is a life full of interest.

Download or read book Shepherds and Shepherding written by Jonathan Brown and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-10 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The old-time shepherd – lamb in one hand, crook in the other – is an emblem of sturdiness, dependability and independence. He was one of the most important men on the farm, responsible for the care and well-being of the flock, with which he might need to spend days and nights out in open pastures. How did he manage his charges and his own life? What skills and equipment did he use? How did sheep farming change in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and what effect did those changes have on the shepherd's work? These are some of the questions considered by this fully illustrated exploration of shepherding life.
Download or read book Sheep written by William Youatt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-21 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sheep: Their Breeds, Management, and Diseases; To Which Is Added the Mountain Shepherd's Manual It was not in the larger factories alone that the conversion of the eece of the sheep into fabrics of various kinds was carried on; this formed a constant and a large portion of the domestic employment, and that not only in the cottage, but in the palace. The mother and the sisters of that patriot monarch, Alfred, whose name will be venerated as long as British liberty remains, devoted much of their leisure time to the labours of the spinning wheel. So universal, in fact, was this employment, and, consequently, so numerous the animals from whom the material was obtained, and the fabrics that were devoted to domestic use, that the sheep and its wool were early and unequivocally acknowledged to be the foundation of the national prosperity and wealth. Wool became the substitute for money. Did any domestic contention exist, so many pounds of it were demanded from each vassal - was any foreign enterprise attempted, the wool furnished the sinews of war - or, was a monarch to be released from captivity, the ransom was calculated by the number of sacks of wool. In all the middle periods of British history, the eece was the expression and the measure of national prosperity or calamity. If, in process of time, other branches of commerce should be Opened, and particularly the introduction of the silk manufacture begin in some measure to lessen the demand for woollen goods, and the establishment of the cotton trade cause a complete revolution in the consumption and the value of the staple commodity of the kingdom, still the sheep and its eece are objects of paramount importance. No fewer than of these useful animals graze on our pastures. Exclusive of the value of the carcase, that of the eece alone cannot be less than seven millions of pounds ster ling, employing nearly individuals, and ultimately yielding manu factures to the amount of at least twenty-one millions of pounds annually.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sheep Management: A Handbook for the Shepherd and Student There are several books on sheep husbandry written by good authorities on the subject which have been of great aid to flockmasters. However, there is need for a book written in simple, compre hensible: every-day language dealing with the practical problems of sheep husbandry. This book has been prepared not only to serve the shepherd in his every-day work, but also to meet the require ments of the student in the classroom. Numerous inquiries from flocko'wners from many sections'of the country for information rela tive to sheep husbandry and the troubles connected with the industry, the requests of many friends and students, and especially the urgent requests of Dean Henry and later of Dean Russell, both of the College of Agriculture of the University of vviscon sin, have induced the author to prepare this book. Judging from many letters recei'ved, not only the beginners with sheep, but also some of the more experienced men, often have many difficulties.

Download or read book Three Bags Full written by Leonie Swann and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A witty philosophical murder mystery with a charming twist: the crack detectives are sheep determined to discover who killed their beloved shepherd. On a hillside near the cozy Irish village of Glennkill, a flock of sheep gathers around their shepherd, George, whose body lies pinned to the ground with a spade. George has cared devotedly for the flock, even reading them books every night. Led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world), they set out to find George’s killer. The A-team of investigators includes Othello, the “bad-boy” black ram; Mopple the Whale, a Merino who eats a lot and remembers everything; and Zora, a pensive black-faced ewe with a weakness for abysses. Joined by other members of the richly talented flock, they engage in nightlong discussions about the crime, wild metaphysical speculations, and embark on reconnaissance missions into the village, where they encounter some likely suspects. Along the way, the sheep confront their own all-too-human struggles with guilt, misdeeds, and unrequited love. Funny, fresh, and endearing, it introduces a wonderful new breed of detectives to Canadian readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sheep and Its Cousins Although the subject is chiefly discussed from the natural history point of view, the mode of treatment ought to render the book useful and interesting to breeders and flock-masters, as well as to that large class of readers who take an intelligent interest in everything relating to the animal life of the world around them. Whether it will lead to experiments with regard to introducing into Great Britain the breeds of which the lambs yield the valuable Astrakhan pelts, the future alone will show. As the various species and races of wild sheep are discussed in another and larger volume by myself, they are treated but briefly in the present one, which contains, however, fuller information with regard to many of the local races, and also indicates some important changes and modifications in classification.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sheep: Breeds and Management There is genuine poetry in pastoral life which it would be sad to lose. Nevertheless, agricultural science and litera ture are between them rapidly taking the romance out of it. Perhaps we should add, hard times, and the vital im portance of making things pay. It is a pity to lose the faculty of discerning the beauty of the dewy eve and rising moon, or listening as the amorous thrush concludes his song; or only to think of the price of mutton and of wool, or of lambs as fore and hind quarters.
