Note: Why do I have Omnivore's Dilemma, a book that has nothing to do with sheep, at the very top of my recommended list? This book will help you understand why you are growing superior meat in a manner that respects the life and death of your sheep for a consumer who no longer knows how to select food that is healthy. It's not about meat, it's really about corn. Pollan traces the route of corn as it is farmed by industrial agriculture into almost every foodstuff we eat. He explores Joel Salatin's Polyface Farm as an alternative to industralized, processed food production method. He exposes the myth that "organic" food is healthier. Vegetarians should read this book; shepherds should read this book. It will change the way you look at food.
