To the best of our knowledge there are
no books purely on Portland sheep. There is a
comprehensive list of books containing references to
the breed in the Breed History on this web site more.
Three books we would not be without
are listed below:
'The Vetinary Book for Sheep
Keepers'. David C. Hendersen published by
Farming press ISBN No. 0 85236 189 0. Short of
calling the vet, this book is your best bet. At least
in our opinion!
'Blacks Vetinary Dictionary'.
Editor Geoffery West published by Adam & Charles
Black ISBN no. 0 1736226 1. Ours is an old edtition
so the ISBN No. might have changed. This is a very
comprehensive book and the standard vetinary
reference book BUT it is a
bit like reading a human medical dictionary and you
can frighten yourself into thinking the worst!
'An Introduction to Keeping
Sheep' by Jane Upton & Dennis Soden.
Published by Farming Books and Videos (01772 652693)
ISBN No. 0 85236332 X. This is the best book we have
ever come across setting out the basics of sheep
keeping. Highly recommended.
