About The Author
Peter Anderson
Peter Jerram
Peter Jerram compiled Cock and Bull Stories, a collection of humorous heartland stories with fellow country vet Peter Anderson. Recently retired, Jerram now grows figs and is a Marlborough District Councillor. He has served on the Veterinary Council of New Zealand for three years.
In Cock and Bull Stories, these two Marlborough vets tell tales of the animals they have treated and the people who own them. These glimpses into the reality of a rural vet’s life are essential reading for animal lovers or anyone interested in stories from the heartland of New Zealand.
Jerram also co-authored the classic natural training manual for sheep dogs, I Am a Working Dog, along with experienced farmer and sheepdog trainer Michael Oliver, and the late Tony Sheild, farmer, sheepdog breeder and triallist. This practical, step-by-step guide to training sheepdogs the natural way was reissued in a revised edition due to popular demand. In it Jerram, an authority on canine reproduction, provides helpful advice on all aspects of successful breeding. The book also recounts the fascinating history of sheepdogs in New Zealand, and is accompanied by anecdotes and descriptions of life from the sheepdog’s point of view. David Henshaw, renowned for his drawings of rural life, provides detailed instructional drawings as well as his inimitable cartoons.
