Corriedale
Corriedale sheep are a dual purpose breed, meaning they are used both in the production of wool and meat. The Corriedale is the oldest of all the crossbred breeds, a Merino-Lincoln cross developed almost simultaneously in Australia and New Zealand〔Stock Types, The Land, North Richmond, c.1988〕 and first brought to the United States in 1914. The Corriedale is internationally farmed, in Australia, New Zealand, the United States of America and Patagonia (it being one of the most popular sheep breeds in Uruguay).
==Appearance and behavior==
Corriedale have a long life span, and are hardy and evenly balanced all over the body. Corriedales are docile, easy care mothers, with high fertility. They adapt well to a wide range of climate conditions. They are large framed and plain bodied, polled (hornless) and have a broad body. Corriedales produce a thick stapled, bulky fleece, which is popular with spinners and can be used for a range of handspun garments. Their dense fleece is medium-fine and high yielding, with good length and softness, somewhat between medium wool and long wool. Corriedale lambs produce good quality carcases and have a high pelt value.
The Corriedale produces bulky, high-yielding wool ranging from 31.5 to 24.5 microns〔Preparation of Australian Wool Clips, Code of Practice 2010-2012, Australian Wool Exchange (AWEX), 2010〕 diameter. Fleece from a mature ewe will weigh with a staple length of . After cleaning, a yield of 50 to 60% of the raw fleece weight is common. Mature rams will weigh , ewes can weigh from .〔
