I have been raising sheep and selling starter flocks to new shepherds since 2008. I have fielded numerous questions through the years about how to bring a new flock home and have guided many shepherds through the process. This ebook is a compilation of years of experience working with new shepherds. I have finally compiled all the information into one ebook to help others get started on their journey living with sheep.
