Thanks Gabrielle- This is very helpful. Sorry for the confusion about the "luck of the draw". I had someone tell me that you couldn't actually breed for fleece quality. You just found sheep with the fleece textures you liked and then hoped that you would get lambs with the same quality. Since all of my experience has been with cattle and horses, where I know almost exactly what I am going to get when I cross a pair, this was a bit of a let down since I am looking forward to the challenge of breeding a top hand spinning fleece flock. I am trying to find out which breeds I can cross to come up with really good hand spinning fleeces and still have good rate of gain for the excess lambs to go to market.
