Handbook for the Sheep Clinician

Agnes Winter (Edited By) grew up on a small family farm in the Yorkshire Dales. After graduating from Liverpool Veterinary School she worked in mixed practice in north Wales where her interest in farm animal work, in particular with sheep, developed further. With her Welsh farmer husband she kept a flock of sheep, including a small flock of pedigree Wensleydales with which she had considerable success in the show ring. After some years she returned to Liverpool Veterinary School to undertake a PhD supervised by her former co-author Michael Clarkson. After completion of this she became a lecturer, and later senior lecturer, in sheep health. For the last four years of her academic career she was head of the Clinical Department and, on retiring, was made an Honorary Professor in the University. She remains an active member of the UK Sheep Veterinary Society, of which she was President from 1987-88. She has written five other books on various aspects of sheep health and disease and has received several prestigious awards for her contributions to the sheep industry.
