Fleece measurements are used by
growers and breeders to assist in the selection of superior
animals for breeding purposes and for the sale of stud
sheep.
Fleece measurements are conducted on a 20g
sample of wool that has been removed from the midside of the
sheep. The sample is first washed, dried and conditioned.
