[QUOTE="Global ovine, post: 6971303, member: 493"] There are a few commercial flocks in NZ of mainly Dorper or Wiltshire blood. But shedders are mainly seen on lifestyle properties where flocks are small and management often poor. There are some breeders producing "ethical" sheep (short tail, disease resistant and fleece margins peeling back so annual fleece is only higher value wool) which is more attractive to the NZ commercial farmer. Lowering wool micron is seen as the way forward by NZ sheep farmers. [/QUOTE]
