Natural Sheep Care by Pat Coleby

very interesting reading and would like to try her methods - have locally purchased loose minerals for my own sheep but would like to buy the main 6 separately that she recomends - very hard to find would have liked to have a listed source page for these.

amasing book

if you care about natural/organic way for sheep farming,this is the BIG ONE i run a stud sheep ( white dorper) out of the S/E of NEW SOUTH WALES ,AUSTRALIA and this book was the WHOLE HOLLY ANSWER i have read it three times,it is simply amasing

More about "Natural" than about Sheep Care

This book is filled with fascinating information about the benefits of an efficient mineral program for sheep. Improving soil condition and mineral content in pastures is the main focus of the book, with mineral supplement advice in lieu of good pasture. There is some information about direct treatment (through mineral supplementation) for specific ailments, but the book emphasizes preventative care. The only drawback to the information is that most of the supplements for animals or land aren't readily available in the United States, as they apparently are in Australia where the book was written.

Pat Colby is the best...

I have several of Ms Colby's books. Her sheep care and goat care are excellent and my flock of sheep and herd of goats are happy and healthy because of her suggestions.

Great Source

This was a very informative book that I loved reading. The sources to start the lick are not viable though and I have had lots of difficulty finding the items discribed to start the lick.
