Animal Welfare

Animal Welfare in the Wool Industry – Why It Matters

The wool industry relies on the health and well-being of sheep, making animal welfare a top priority. Consumers today want to know that the products they buy are not only high-quality but also ethically sourced. 

Why Animal Welfare Matters in Wool Production

The treatment of sheep directly impacts the quality of wool, the sustainability of the industry, and the ethical responsibility we all share. Proper care ensures that sheep live healthy, stress-free lives while continuing to produce soft, high-quality wool.

Key Aspects of Ethical Wool Production

🐑 No Mulesing – Ethical farms avoid harmful practices like mulesing, ensuring the humane treatment of sheep.
🌿 Natural & Free-Range Grazing – Sheep should have access to open pastures, fresh air, and proper nutrition.
🩺 Regular Health Checks – Farmers committed to animal welfare provide veterinary care and monitor sheep for any signs of illness.
🛡 Shearing with Care – Sheep must be shorn gently and without stress or injury, using skilled shearers who prioritize their well-being.
