If you enjoyed Know Your Sheep, but wanted to learn about even more breeds, this book is for you!

Do you know which breeds of sheep are the rarest, which were cross-bred, or which provide blue-grey wool? Impress friends and family with the interesting animal facts inside Know More Sheep!

Inside this compact little book is everything you need to know about forty more sheep breeds and cross-breeds—some familiar and well-known, some extremely rare, and some that just must be seen to be believed! This fascinating guide is packed with sheep breed history, habitat, appearance, farming uses, wool and meat quality, status, and other fun facts.

The origins of some sheep can be traced back many hundreds of years; others have resulted from cross-breeding to improve the breed standard. Many have travelled the globe from their origins on the hills and mountains of Britain, France, Iceland, or New Zealand and can now be found in the USA, Canada, Australia, China, Germany, and beyond. Some minority breeds which were once seen everywhere have since come to the brink of extinction and need our help to persevere.

From the hardy Balwen Welsh Mountain sheep to the friendly Zwartbles, with this concise and informative little pocket guide, you'll soon be able to say you Know More Sheep!
