We’ve just added a new page to our site: Cotswold Wool.

Here’s a brief excerpt:

Cotswold wool has many valuable characteristics unique to the breed. Care should be taken to consider proper fleece traits appropriate to the breed when selecting replacements or offering breeding stock for sale so that these attributes remain strong in the population.

Take a look at the new page here.
