New Columbia Sheep Made to Order Breed
The United States Department of Agriculture began work around 1912 to develop a breed combining wool and meat traits. The result is the Columbia sheep, created from Lincoln and Rembouillet stock, with its own registry, primarily a range sheep but used in farming areas, and notable for absence of wool blindness and skin folds. A Columbia ewe can fleece about 12 pounds in 12 months, with roughly 50 percent clean wool and fibers about 3.5 inches long.
