Sheep are the primary animals that produce wool. Their wool is derived from the fleece on their bodies, which is sheared off annually. Other animals that can produce wool include goats (mohair and cashmere) and rabbits (angora), each with their unique characteristics and quality of wool.
All wool sheep produce wool. Some wool sheep are prized for their fine wool production and softness of wool such as the merino, southdown, baby doll and shetland. Other are prized for their meat production including the Suffolk, Doper, St. Croix and Doper. When push comes to shove, no matter the purpose intended, all sheep can be eaten and all but the hair sheeps make wool that can be used.
