The Whitefaced Woodland is one of the larger and more distinctive hill breeds of sheep, characterised by their horns - which are heavily spiralled in rams, the quality of their wool and meat, and - as the name of the breed would suggest - their white legs and faces. It is a historic breed, and one classified by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust as being a rare breed.

The Whitefaced Woodland Sheep Society exists to preserve and promote the breed, by amongst other things keeping breeders in touch with one another and maintaining a register of pure bred sheep. Some sixteen years ago, the society began a project of compiling flock profiles - interviewing breeders and photographing their flocks - with the aims of sharing information and promoting the rare and ancient breed.

Those flock profiles are collected here together for the first time, and bring together a wealth of information (and opinion), engagingly presented and illustrated with colour photographs throughout - which will be of interest not only to Whitefaced Woodland breeders, but anyone with an interest in livestock or rare breeds.

About the Author

Philip Onions is a first-generation farmer, who began his farming career back in 1986 with no experience and a mortgage on a tiny piece of land which everyone thought he had overpaid for. Against the odds, he made a success of it. Building a house along the way, he and his family now farm two hundred acres and have three hundred sheep and fifty cows.

He has been an active member of the Whitefaced Woodland Sheep Society for many years and served for three years as its Vice Chairman. He lives and farms at Keer Falls near Burton in Kendal with his wife Heather and their two children James and Katie.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very readable and enjooyable - a mine of information.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 14, 2017
    A great book - I've just started reading it and it's a mine of information. Very readable and enjoyable. It's about Whitefaced Woodland sheep but the breeding and marketing policies and flock management sections for each of the breeders could be applied to any breed and are great to read about. I'm a novice in terms of keeping sheep so I can't suggest how suitable it would be for more experienced people (although I think they'd love it too) but from a novice's point of view, it's a great read!
