SAN AGNELO, Texas â Big things are happening in Texas agriculture. Sheep ranchers will soon be saving a lot of money on wool production.
A wool testing facility in the works coming to San Angelo will service the entire nationâs commercial wool testing needs, according to former President of The American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) Benny Cox.
âThis part of Texas is known as the sheep ranching capital of the county,â said Cox.
ASI partnered with the Texas A&M University AgriLife Extension Serviceâs Bill Sims Wool & Mohair Research Laboratory in San Angelo to build the testing lab that Cox says will speed the manufacturing process.
