| Managing Your Ewe and Her Newborn Lambs |
Laura Lawson |

This book is the mainstay of our farm library. Our copy is dog-eared,tattered,stained and otherwise well-loved. It has saved our hides (not to mention lambs and ewes) on several occasions. While not specific to Icelandic breed, the information is excellent. We review the section on lambing every year. A must-have for every shepherd.
