Which of the following is NOT considered a Fine Wool breed of sheep?

Merino
Rambouillet
Corriedale
Texel

The correct answer is: Corriedale

The correct answer is Texel, as it is a breed that is primarily categorized as a meat sheep rather than a Fine Wool breed. Fine Wool breeds are known for their soft, fine fibers that are ideal for producing high-quality wool, and they typically include breeds such as Merino and Rambouillet. These breeds are valued in the textile industry for their wool, which has a high degree of crimp and a smaller diameter, making it suitable for finer fabrics. On the other hand, Texels are raised for their muscle development and meat quality, not for wool. Their wool tends to be coarser and is not of the same quality as that of Fine Wool breeds. This distinction makes the Texel stand out among the options provided, as it does not align with the characteristics that define Fine Wool sheep breeds.
