Description

A comprehensive guide on how to raise pheasants and red-leg partridges. It provides an understanding of each species, choosing the breeding stock, incubating the eggs, rearing the chicks to release and then nurturing the game through to the start of the shooting season. It is a hands-on practical guide that draws on a wide-range of accepted best practice, including experiences of overseas success stories. Advice is given on rearing game in a low-cost and efficient manner, without compromising quality and ensuring the welfare of the birds is paramount. AUTHOR: The author was brought up on a working farm and country shooting estate. She spent her childhood working with hunt horses and flat racers and helping out the gamekeeper. She graduated with BA hons. from York University, then achieved a post graduate MSc taken at Warwick University. Following a career in management she had a serious car crash, resulting in many orthopaedic injuries, which caused her to give up work and re-focus. She became a magistrate in 1999 and has served on a Bench in the Midlands ever since. Following a move with her husband to a small shooting estate, they now concentrate on rearing pheasants and red-leg partridges, with their activities mostly being confined to running the estate and maintaining their rough shoot.

Author Biography:

Beth Williams grew up in the countryside spending most of her time either working with the local gamekeeper or out exercising flat racers and hunters. Educated with degrees from York and Warwick Universities, her career years were mainly city based. Finally getting back to her roots, Beth and her husband bought a small estate where they established their own rough shoot. Unable to find any complete information on how to rear pheasants and partridges from scratch, Beth decided to put her research together in one book.
