Catherine Friend
What do you do when you love your farm . . . but it doesnâ€™t love you? After fifteen years of farming, Catherine Friend is tired. After all, while shepherding is one of the oldest professions, itâ€™s not getting any easier. The number of sheep in America has fallen by 90 percent in the last ninety years. But just as Catherine thinks itâ€™s time to hang up her shepherdâ€™s crook, she discovers that sheep might be too valuable to give up. What ensues is a funny, thoughtful romp through the history of our woolly friends, why small farms are important, and how each one of usâ€”and the planetâ€”would benefit from being very sheepish, indeed.
