Hey guys...

 

For those folks always asking for info on sheep...

 

I'm recommending the Pipestone Lamb and Wool Program Sheep Home Study Course...

 

It's a correspondence course that covers the entire year of woolie management (they ship you all the lessons at once)and I found it indispensable when I got started - it's been around for over 25 years...

 

I think it only costs around $60 and is available from Minnesota West College, PO box 250, Pipestone, MN 56164....1-800-658-2330

 

It's got info on breeding, housing, nutrition, and even a short paper by Jackie Knox on dogs...

Oh, and also the Sheep Industry Handbook - it's available from www.pipevet.com or the Sheep Industry Association itself...costs around $50 and if you register, they send you updates occasionally...

 

Good sources of general info, will answer many basic questions, and provide at least a starting point for sheepie husbandry...

 

By the way, the above website has an archive of articles and sheep tips as well...
