Judythe,

I forgot that I had this book until I had to move some stuff around the office today, but this might be of interest to you and other people seeking information on commercial sheep production:

Sheep Production Handbook

published by American Sheep Industry Ass'n

6911 S. Yosemite

Englewood, CO, 80112

(303) 771-3500

When we bought it, it was about $80. It is a honkin' large 3-ring binder with information on breeding, forages, handling health, management, marketing, nutrition, predator control, QA, reproduction, animal care, wool, etc.

I noodled around and here's a URL:
