Your Sheep: A Kid's Guide to Raising and Showing

A guide to the choosing, handling, care, breeding, and showing of sheep

A respected authority on sheep raising for over three decades, author Paula Simmons has written many books and magazines articles on spinning wool. She has authored three Storey books for children and adults: Turning Wool Into a Cottage Industry and Raising Sheep the Modern Way, which many readers call their sheep "bible" and The Mother Earth News has dubbed it, "A fine shepherd's textbook." Paula is also a lecturer and conducts workshops in the United States and Canada on raising sheep and spinning wool for a living. Together with her husband, Ross, Paula has been raising and sheering sheep, and spinning and weaving wool for over 20 years on their farm in Washington.

Paula has written Storey's Guide to Raising Sheep and co-authored Your Sheep with Darrell L. Salsbury, a veterinary research scientist. He lives in Kansas where he spins, weaves, and raises a large mixed-breed flock of sheep. Darrell has written many articles about sheep exclusively for children.
