A new UW initiative hopes to become a powerful resource for wool producers in Wyoming and beyond

Wyoming has a long history of raising sheep and the state is known to produce high quality wool - and a lot of it. In the 2017 Census of Agriculture, Wyoming ranked number one in wool production with almost 2.8 million pounds shorn. The University of Wyoming sheep program is trying to build on that with the new Wyoming Wool Initiative.
