That's a brilliant idea, actually. They try to breed sheep for wool quality, but it's a slow and unsure process. This has huge potential. Plus, Australia produces fully a quarter of the world's wool... if they find targetable genes, this could actually end up making high-quality wool much cheaper for everyone.


Did I mention I know people who farm sheep?
