Through colorful photographs and accessible text, beginning readers will learn how these animals are raised by farmers to grow wool, how farmers cut it off them safely, and how that wool is used to make clothes! Theyll also learn how dogs help farmers herd these sheep and keep them safe on the farm, and how baby lambs are born in this exciting title that explores the lives of these special farm animals.
Do you know how long it takes to shear a sheep? What kind of food does a lamb eat? Just ask Diana, a young farmer who helps her family raise sheep. She’ll show you the fun and hard work it takes to help little lambs grow into big healthy sheep.

"Conditions created by the European war have made sheep raising on a small scale a very profitable enterprise for the New England farmer so situated as to take advantage of the economic conditions. Prior to the recent remarkable advance in prices of wool and mutton, sheep raising in New England was comparatively unprofitable, but now, under certain conditions, a revival of the industry seems desirable. This bulletin tells briefly how the industry was organized in 1914, and discusses the difficulties to be met in expanding the business, with special reference to improvement in breeding stock, better care, and more efficient disease control."--Page 2.
