Select for Desirable Wool Traits

How to Select for Desirable Wool Traits

•           Record grease fleece weight and staple length of each fleece at shearing.
•           If possible, obtain clean fleece weight.
•           Rank fleeces according to weight of fibre produced and staple length.

•           If possible, rank sheep within a given grade of wool, within a given age classification, and within a group in which the number of lambs raised is known.
