Weird News: No ugly sheep in Australia

An Australian government campaign called 'Xtreme sheep' aims to study sheep with undesirable wool features to unlock the genetic makeup of the prized merino and ensure production of its high quality fleece.

The South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) said on Tuesday its search for 'Australia's ugliest merino lambs' may hold the key to securing the nation's $2.1 billion wool industry.
