Bozeman - In 1945, the Montana Legislature first approved funding to construct the Montana Wool Lab on the campus of Montana State University in Bozeman. The landmark building currently sits on the north end of Bozemanâs campus on South 11th Avenue.
Completed in 1947, the lab has served sheep and wool producers nationwide by conducting research and testing to help sheep producers improve their wool clip for fiber diameter and wool yield, which significantly influences their income from wool. The lab is one of only two testing locations for wool fiber left in the nation.
