Immaculate, shining white fleeces of cloud-like personas sliding off the sheep\u2019s backs into waiting bags. True or False? FALSE! Anyone raising sheep for wool \u2013 range or farm flock &#8211; are very aware that this is not reality. It takes a lot of work and management to acquire a prime fleece, and it sure does not slide off of the sheep\u2019s back. Amazingly, potential fiber production actually begins in utero and continues through the animal\u2019s life. What you feed the animal, when you feed the animal and how much you feed and don\u2019t feed the animal has a large impact on fiber production of an individual animal. This seminar includes a brief primer on genetics, feeding management and husbandry systems to feed animals for wool \u2013 and a discussion of what is realistic and what is not.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This webinar is made possible with funding support from the American Sheep Industry Association and the Rebuild the Sheep Inventory Committee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'Downloads', 'PDF', 'Feeding');\" title=\"Slides - Feeding and Producing Sheep for Maximum Fiber Production\" href=\"http:\/\/www.optimalag.com\/webinars\/2013-09-10_FeedingSheepForFiberProduction.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">PowerPoint Slides<\/a> (Be patient.
