| In the sheep world wrinkles are a good thing as far as fiber goes. The more wrinkles the more Merino blood and the finer the wool. Dan the Cormo has more than his share of wrinkles making is super hard to shear, there is just no way to get in those wrinkles without nicking him. His neck has wrinkles going side ways and up and down.Then the wrinkles continue rolling all down his sides from front to back. I am not able to shear him, I have tried, but I cut him too bad. He's not the prettiest boy around but has the best Cormo fleece I have seen, he doesn't have the black greasy tips making it easier to wash. It's incredible how fast and how much wool that small guy can grow in 7-8 months. |
