The Sheep And Pigs Of Great Britain

Excerpt from The Cattle, Sheep and Pigs of Great Britain: Being a Series of Articles on the Various Breeds of the United Kingdom, Their History, Management, &C In a Second Edition of The Cattle, Sheep, and Pigs of Great Britain, it has been thought desirable to combine the whole in one volume, which, much handier in form and reasonable in price, will it is hoped prove useful to both the student and those about embarking in a business which, to conduct with success, requires much more thorough study and training than has as a rule been given to it. Most of the original articles reappear in amended form, and it is believed that the information as to the various breeds accurately describes their present position and influence. The original drawings, by Mr. Harrison Weir, have been reduced in size by a photographic process in order to adapt them to the smaller pages of the present volume.

This special re-print edition of Coleman's "The Cattle, Sheep and Pigs of Great Britain" is considered one of the most important works ever published on livestock breeds in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Channel Islands. First published in 1887, this important work on British livestock breeds, has not seen the light of day since its early publication. Included are details on all the breeds of British livestock, including many that are today rare. By far, the most important book ever published on the subject of British livestock.
