1896 Front Cover of 'British Dairying' by Prof. J.P. Sheldon, Second Edition. Alan Salt comments "Professor Sheldon was one of the people who helped to set up the first Reapsmoor Dairy - originally called the "Manifold Valley Dairy". J. P. Sheldon was very well known in dairy circles and was a lecturer at The Royal Agricultural College for a while, he lived in a village two miles from Reapsmoor Dairy, and is also buried there." Jonathan Crow comments "Very glad to see this lovely book reproduced here. I bought a copy a few years ago and it was partly the inspiration which led to me creating a mixed milking herd of Guernseys, Dairy Shorthorns and (where I differ) South Devons. However I’m hoping for direct sales of dairy products rather than fully through a processor. I farm in Shropshire, north of Wellington-a few miles from the old Dairy Crest Crudgington Creamery site... start of the Cheshire Plain... originally all dairy country."
