by Virginia Paul
On This Page
Description
An account of sheep raising, from thier domestication in ancient times up through the centuries to present day sheep ranching. Filled with photographs including lambing, shearings in different places and different eras, flocks on summer ranges, nomadic bedouins eternally roaming for the best grazing lands, and even Kit Carson who once trailed 12,000 sheep from New Mexico to California and didn't care for it one bit. Ms. Paul carries us through the introduction of sheep to England, Europe, show more Russia, and the eventual spread to the U.S. West. Exploring past and present contributions of sheep to humanity's comfort and well being (everything from lamb chops to high fashion wool suits) we realize that we owe these creatures (and those who raise them) a vote of thanks. show lessTags
