What is a merino sheep?
|
Most farmers would agree that merino sheep produce the best wool of any breeds. Their coat is very thick and the fleece is strong and fine. They are also hardy animals. The breed originated in Spain nearly 1,000 years ago. Today, merino sheep are found all over the world, and have also been crossed with other breeds. | | An Arles merino sheep from the south of France, valued for its high-quality fleece |
