Staff Favorite: 'Sheep!' Magazine
Design Observer takes a look at the shift in animal trade magazine cover design over the past century. It's too bad they didn't mention Serious Eats' favorite animal trade magazine, sheep!: "The Voice of the Independant Flockmaster." [via Gawker]

Picturing the SHEEP! magazine newsroom, where an entire staff of fuzzy sweater-clad editors types away at keyboards.

Is this a knitting blog? I have to put SE in another category!

Darn! Usually these trade magazines have a way to score a free subscription... not here!

I saw this as a tractor supply with other trade mags for the farm culture. Always a fun time at the tractor supply.

Ok, so it's really not sooooo funny. i moved from the NYC area to the country not long ago. I now have two Shetland ewes.........and 13 Heritage breed chickens. This New Yorker (I'll always consider myself one!) now reads Sheep magazine as well as Backyard Poultry.
These animals are lovely free range, free spirits that bring a smile to my face each and everyday.In the spring the sheep will be shorn and their fleece spun into yarn. The hens provide the most delicious eggs imaginable (blue, brown and white). To see these animals living free and happy makes us understand why sustainable agriculture is so important.
After seeing the horrific pictures of the feedlots and the mistreatment of those poor animals earlier this week it makes it very easy to understand how you can raise an animal humanely and then eventually feed it for dinner. Until I began raising my animals and seeing them live a serene and happy life I never thought I could feel that way.
I can't credit Sheep magazine or Backyard Poultry for making all this possible, but both do contribute some invaluable information as well as a good bit of humor. And Erin, you're probably right about a whole staff of fuzzy sweater clad editors! Any idea what the dress code is a Backyard Poultry?
