Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the value of improving the coarse wool of British sheep through the introduction of Spanish Merino bloodlines. It begins by outlining the history and characteristics of Merino sheep, discussing their origins and the factors that have influenced the quality of their wool. The author then examines the potential benefits of crossbreeding Merino sheep with British breeds, citing evidence from experiments conducted by the Bath and West of England Society. These experiments demonstrated that crossbred sheep produced wool with a finer pile and increased weight, while maintaining the hardiness and meat quality of their British counterparts. The book concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for British wool production, arguing that the introduction of Merino bloodlines could significantly enhance the quality and value of British wool and its associated industries.
