SRS® vs Traditional Merinos: The Facts
- SRS® Merinos grow very long and very dense wools
- Long wools are bold crimping wools
- Long wool sheep are wrinkle-free and do not need to be mulesed
- Short wools are fine crimping wools
- Short wool means wrinkly sheep and mulesing
- Long wools process better than short wools
