Where To Now:
|
The Romney breed is a truly
dual purpose breed used for both Wool and Meat. At the Omega Stud most of the lines
have a wool spinning count in the range of 46 - 48 (31 - 34.5 microns) with a few
slightly stronger wools in the 44 - 46 (above 35 microns) range. With the demand of
heavy wools dropping off and the better markets for the finer wools, Omega have been
actively selecting finer wool Romneys in its breeding programme. The Romney is
still the most common breed in New Zealand, offering good stock as a basis for cross
breeding. For wool fibre
