From the fine-wooled Spanish Merino to the sturdy Cheviot, Jennings surveys the breeds that clothed and fed a nation. This thick manual covers sheep by variety, then turns to swine and poultry, with natural history and management throughout. A one-volume stockman's reference for the small farm running more than one kind of animal. Know every breed you keep.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
