About this ebook
Australian Sheep explores the profound influence of sheep farming on Australia's economy and its rise to dominance in the global wool industry. More than just an account of agriculture, the book uncovers how sheep transformed the nation's social, economic, and political landscapes. Intriguingly, the introduction of merino sheep, adaptable to Australia's harsh climate, was a turning point, while the development of vast pastoral leases reshaped the land and impacted Indigenous populations.
The book progresses systematically, first examining the genetic evolution of Australian sheep breeds, including the selective breeding practices that enhanced wool quality. It then delves into land management, analyzing the environmental impact of grazing and the evolution of sustainable farming approaches. Finally, it explores trade policies and how government regulations solidified Australia's position in the global wool market.
This approach offers a unique, multi-layered perspective, blending historical analysis with economic and environmental considerations, making it valuable for anyone interested in Australian history and economics.
