"Where There Is No Vet" by Bill Forse/softcover/published 1999. Many blackbelly shepherds struggle to keep their sheep healthy in the absense of good veterinary resources. This book explains in simple words and drawings what can be done to prevent, recognize, and treat many common sicknesses in sheep, goats, and other livestock animals. It is written to help third-world livestock owners care for their animals without skilled veterinary services, and is a great resource for those of us in North America facing the same situation. All of the other sheep vet books rely on your waiting until the REAL vet gets there to take over. This book knows you don't have that option.
"Sheep Raiser's Manual" by William K. Kruesi/paperback/published 1985. This book has good information on genetic selection and improvement; pasture renovation and management; and management aspects of sheep production (such as how to make a profit raising sheep).
