The Well-Read Shepherds Society

Introducing The North American Hill Sheep Show’s Book Club!

Do you have a favorite "sheep book"?

You know, the one that you always grab for, even though you've read it so much the binding is shot and pages are sticking out,

the one that you reference, recommend, and can't imagine your shepherding journey without?

Your eye-opening, always-there-for-you, life-changing sheep book.

Yeah, we've all got 'em.

  • The Well-Read Shepherds Society is a brand new book club for the North American Hill Sheep Show!

    One book a year will be chosen to be read beforehand and then discussed as a group while at the show.

    It won't be a super long meeting, just a nice "time out" for book- lovers to come together and discuss a couple of their favorite things!

  • For 2025, let's plan on everyone bringing their favorite sheep-related book (or two) and give a brief description explaining why it's their favorite.

    We may possibly choose the 2026 book out of one of those, it could be yours!

    More details to follow, for now, just start narrowing down which one to bring in September!

  • This “waiting time” between 2024’s show and next year’s is the perfect opportunity to relax and cozy up with some great books!

    Enjoy some sheep stories, or glean some new tips and tricks from knowledgeable shepherds-turned-entertaining-authors, by placing a stack of fleecy reads on your end table for you to grab this winter!
