Merino sheep are renowned worldwide for their exceptional wool, known for being incredibly soft, fine, and highly prized in the textile industry. Originating from Spain, this breed has been spread globally, particularly flourishing in countries like Australia and New Zealand, which are now top producers of Merino wool.
Merino sheep are well adapted to a variety of climates, making them versatile livestock. Their wool, unlike coarser varieties, is known for being breathable, moisture-wicking, and comfortable against the skin, making it a preferred choice for premium clothing, particularly activewear. The breed is also known for its mild temperament, making it easy to manage in large flocks. Merino wool is often used for high-end fashion, thermal wear, and even medical textiles due to its hypoallergenic properties.
