For sheep and goats mostly, live stock management, pasture management and so forth...I'm putting myself through home farm school  . I want to get a border collie as well and train it to herd....so advice from the farmgirls is most earnestly needed

Some really good books are for goats and sheep is Natural Goat Care by Pat Coleby and Storey's Guide To Raising Dairy Goats by Jerry Belanger. There is also a book on Meat goats by Maggie Sayer. I'm not sure if I got the name right on that one.
For sheep there is Storey's Guide to Raising Sheep and Natural Sheep Care by Pat Coleby. Hope this helps!

I too would highly recomend all the books from Storey, they are great for the beginner as well as the experienced.
