If there is any breed of livestock in the Golden Pasture now, it must be sheep, and there are more than 5,000 purebred Merino sheep, which is not a small number.

In order to be able to accommodate these bleating little ones, the Golden Ranch has built more than a dozen large sheepfolds, and sheep herding is the most distressing thing for cowboys.

Beef cattle can grow freely in the wild at their own leisure, but sheep cannot. The sheepfold must be opened every morning, led by the cowboys, with the shepherd dog assisting on the side.

In the evening, the sheep had to be driven by the cowboys before they could return, but fortunately the pastures were well manned, otherwise 5,000 sheep would have been a huge number.

With so many merino sheep here, Wang Hao's mind also floated, if the sheep could be sold with this exhibition, it would definitely be a relief for himself.

To say that there are many varieties of merino sheep, the golden pasture is raised with fine wool Merino sheep, such merino wool quality is uniform, the quality of the number of counts is more than 60, the finest can reach more than 80; The length of the wool is 4~10 cm, the fiber surface is covered with fine scales, the oil content is high, the color is white after washing, with silver or pearlescent luster.

Merino wool is soft and elastic to the touch, making it suitable for making fine worsted fabrics. Many high-end wool ** and coats use its material, such as Burberry (Burberry).

Compared to synthetic and cotton fabrics, merino wool has excellent breathability, warmth and is easy to dry because the oil on the wool fibre repels water.

Different weaving methods are used to achieve different fabric weaving densities and thicknesses, which can achieve breathable and quick-drying in summer, warm and breathable in winter, light weight, soft skin feel, and not easy to odor. At the same time, compared with petrochemical products such as chemical fibers, merino wool is more easily decomposed by nature as a natural fiber and has more environmental protection value.

Merino wool is used by major outdoor brands such as Arcteryx and Patagonia to make clothing products. Of course, the price of merino wool products is generally 2-3 times more expensive than the same chemical fiber clothing.

Almost every outdoor brand has its own merino product line. For example, the M** series in Patagonia, the RHO series of Archaeopteryx, and so on. Of course, there are also outdoor brands that use merino for all. Truly make a living from wool, such as Icebreake in New Zealand and Smartwool in the United States. Pretty much dominates the field of outdoor merino wool products.

Sheep are Australia's national treasure, especially Merino sheep, which are almost ubiquitous, integrated with nature and inseparable from the country's development. Australia's vast land, pleasant climate, and abundant water and grass have created a major pillar industry in Australia, where merino sheep are constantly breeding, improving and growing.

Before Wang Hao took over the Golden Ranch. Joseph, the former owner, had already sheared the sheep on the pasture, so the price was not high at that time.

Now, after the spring and summer growth, the Merino sheep in the pasture have finally grown their wool again, and the ugly monsters who have been cut by Wang Hao can finally cover themselves.

Wang Hao didn't have any research on wool, and if he could, he didn't want to shear so much wool, it was too troublesome, and at this time he was faced with the merger with Brad Ranch.

Merino sheep, which had grown up on improved pasture, were all very healthy, and even their hair grew a little faster. The oily sweat rate is also very high.

Wang Hao's plan was to let Banner's Dreamy come and bring the lanolin from the wool, while he sold the wool, and he didn't know if Banner's company could eat so much lanolin oil.

After returning to the rest area, Wang Hao called Banner to inquire about the situation. "Banner? It's me, Wang Hao. I have a little question for you. ”

Banner was dressed for a banquet in Hollywood, USA, and this was a dinner party hosted by the crew of "American Sniper". The purpose is to win over a group of Oscar judges, so the publicists and stars from all walks of life gathered. There are a lot of rich N generations like Banner who are well-rooted. But Banner came to promote his brand's skincare products.

"It's okay, it's okay, I was just talking to Sandra. Brock chat. Is there anything you have to do at such a late hour? Banner asked, taking a sip of champagne.

Wang Hao patted his forehead, "God, I forgot that you still have a jet lag in the United States." That's right, the merino sheep in the golden pasture have grown, we are ready to shear the sheep, and we said before that we will provide sheep fat to Dreamy, I wonder if Dreamy can degrease the wool? ”

When it comes to lanolin, it is generally believed to be the fat in the sheep's body. How much fat should a sheep of about 100 kilograms have on it! Not really. It is not the oil from the sheep that is used to make cosmetics, but the oil from the surface of the sheep's wool.

The sheared wool is transported to the processing plant for washing and degreasing, and the separated fat is processed and refined to make a variety of cosmetics. Because the lanolin oil of merino sheep has the function of absorbing water, the use of cosmetics containing this lanolin can keep the skin moisturized, therefore, the lanolin series cosmetics are favored by the majority of consumers.

Banner thought for a moment and replied: "There is no such equipment for the time being, you can just take it to the processing plant to deal with it, I remember that there are many such processing plants in Australia, and when the time comes, you can hand over the refined lanolin to me." I guess I won't be back until after the Oscars, and I'm looking for my cousin to get an invitation to the Oscars, and I'm going to go in and have a look. ”

"Hope everything goes well and have fun today!" Wang Hao said with a smile that he doesn't like to go to a place like Hollywood to join in the fun, and only hopes that Banner's trip can achieve its goal and let some female stars start to try out Dreamy's "Dreamtime" series.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Hao called Su Jing again, reported his whereabouts, and mentioned what he saw today, the two of them were tired of the phone for a while, and then suddenly remembered the phone bill, obviously there was a free video chat, but they chose the most expensive transoceanic phone.

The scale of the Merino sheep fair looks quite large, and an electronic invitation was sent to Wang Hao's mailbox, which has a huge QR code, which can be identified by scanning the code directly with the machine, which is more convenient and not easy to lose.

Unfortunately, he asked the ranchers in the neighborhood, and none of them wanted to go to the fair, and they all had regular business partners to buy the sheared wool, so they didn't have to open up the market themselves.

So Wang Hao felt that he was only alone to attend the fair, no acquaintances, he was going to wait for the cowboy to drive the sheep back to the sheepfold tonight to pick five sheep out, anyway, the quality of the sheep in the pasture is very high, which one is the same. (To be continued......)
