Scholars believe the Berbers and other peoples from the region brought the sheep to the Spanish peninsula soon after, and for centuries the Merino breed was a closely guarded industrial secret -- those who tried to export the breed risked the death penalty!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn modern times, flocks of Merino sheep can be found around the world, and many cross-breeds have been developed. The merino is a highly adaptable sheep and an excellent forager. However, they must be shorn at least once a year, as their wool does not stop growing, and overgrowth can cause health issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/7846\/7385\/files\/Merino_sheep_480x480.jpg?v=1678728294\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Merino_sheep.png\"\u003eOriginal: User:Fir0002 Derivative work: Charles Esson at en.wikipedia\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.gnu.org\/licenses\/old-licenses\/fdl-1.2.html\"\u003eGFDL 1.2\u003c\/a\u003e, via Wikimedia Commons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Romni Wools Ltd","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":42134132949049,"sku":null,"price":21.15,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/7846\/7385\/files\/natural-white-merino-top-18-point-five-micron-wool-undyed-top-roving-superfine-roving.jpg?v=1765563878","url":"https:\/\/www.romniwools.ca\/products\/super-fine-merino-top-18-5-micron","provider":"Romni Wools Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
