Sheep Marks in Borrowdale

Do you ever wonder who the Herdwick sheep belong to, that you see when you are walking the fells and fields of Borrowdale? This A5 booklet is just the right size to slip into your backpack, and explains how the "lug marks" and "smit marks" identify the farm where the sheep are kept when they are not on their "heaf". The book also explains what all these dialect words mean, and how to count sheep in the Borrowdale dialect.
