Micron or Micron:

Diameter is known as “fineness” and its unit of measurement is microns, which express the diameter of the fiber. A micron is equal to one thousandth of a millimeter. The finer the wool, the lower the micron value.

Types of Sheep:

There are sheep specialized in wool production, meat production, and dual-purpose (used for both purposes). Wool breeds have a high wool production (5 to 8 kilos), which is of good quality and fineness (23 to 25 microns or even less). Among them, the Australian Merino breed is the most recognized in the world because it produces a very fine fiber (16 to 20 microns). Meat breeds grow faster – being larger animals at the same age than other breeds – presenting leaner meat, but they have a low wool production (2 to 4 kilos) and less fineness (32 to 35 microns or even more). In the central area of ​​Chile, the Suffolk Down breed is the most representative within this group.

Suffolk Down: Meat sheep Dual-purpose breeds are not specialized in the production of meat or wool, being rather used for both purposes, so they produce intermediate values ​​for both characteristics. In Chile, the most important breeds within this group are the Corriedale and the Romney Marsh.
