This classic of sheep farming discusses the breeding, raising and care of sheep and ewes, and how to combat the common diseases and problems that flocks encounter.

The author begins by identifying the various breeds of sheep, and their strengths and weaknesses. Writing in Britain at the turn of the 20th century, Jenner-Fust was a man experienced with farming and raising of livestock. He discusses how certain breeds of sheep are susceptible to disease, while others do better on rough and hilly terrain. Some breeds are very placid and calm in temperament, whether alone or in flocks, whilst others will only respond and obey a herder who is trained in their management.
