Merino sheep are a breed of domestic sheep known for their fine wool. Originating from Spain, they are highly valued for their soft, lightweight fleece, which is often used in high-quality clothing. Merino wool is breathable, moisture-wicking, and provides excellent insulation, making it popular among outdoor enthusiasts. These sheep are typically medium-sized with a strong, sturdy build. They thrive in various climates and are known for their adaptability. Merino sheep are also social animals, often found in flocks, and they require proper care and management to maintain their health and wool quality.
