SRS® vs Traditional Merinos: The Facts

  1. SRS® Merinos grow very long and very dense wools
  2. Long wools are bold crimping wools
  3. Long wool sheep are wrinkle-free and do not need to be mulesed
  4. Short wools are fine crimping wools
  5. Short wool means wrinkly sheep and mulesing
  6. Long wools process better than short wools
