Sheepish by Catherine Friend

Two Women, Fifty Sheep, and Enough Wool to Save the Planet

What do you do when you love your farm…but it doesn't love you? After fifteen years of farming, Catherine Friend is tired. After all, while shepherding is one of the oldest professions, it's not getting any easier. The number of sheep in America has fallen by 90 percent in the past ninety years. But just as Friend thinks it's time to hang up her shepherd's crook, she discovers that sheep--and the small farms on which they live--might be too valuable to give up.
