The Sheep’s Tale

This book challenges common perceptions of sheep, presenting them as intelligent and loyal animals rather than the mindless creatures often portrayed. It explores their role in biodiversity when farmed sustainably and highlights their contributions to human life through wool and meat. Following the shepherd's calendar, the narrative offers insights into the lives of ewes, lambs, and rams across the seasons. The author shares his experiences of caring for his flock with wisdom, ethical consideration, and humour, providing a heartfelt tribute to the sheep he has reared.
