Publisher Description
Two Shakes of a Lamb's Tail is the funny, illuminating diary of a year in the life of a New Zealand farm vet
With a husband and two children, 1200 sheep and 400 cattle, farm dogs and pet lambs, pigs bent on excavation and a goat bent on escape, country life is never dull. From calving cows to constipated dogs, weddings to weaning lambs, daffodils to ducklings to droughts, each season brings new challenges and delights. Sometimes it's exhausting but it's almost always a lot of fun - anyway, it's all part and parcel of the life of a Kiwi mother, farmer's wife and vet.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In Two Shakes of a Lamb’s Tail, Danielle Hawkins diarises her busy life as a large-animal vet, writer, farmer and parent. By chronicling early mornings, callouts to troubled cows, wry observations of family life, ambitious gardening plans, minor family tiffs, and more, Hawkins paints a delightful picture of rural life in Aotearoa New Zealand. We loved her humour, pragmatism and candour in this charming and diverting listen, entertainingly read by Kirsty Gillmore.
