Wool Lab
The Montana Wool Laboratory was established by the sheep producers of Montana to
serve the sheep industry. Through their efforts, the Montana Legislature approved
funding for the building and equipment in 1945 and construction was completed in 1947.
In the early days, the lab supplied basic information for selling wool based on its merits.
Today, the lab's primary functions include research, service and education. To help
meet these goals, an Optical Fibre Diameter Analyser was purchased from Australia.
This instrument quickly and accurately measures fiber diameter and is one of
only two used by wool research labs in the U.S. With the continued backing of the Montana
sheep industry, the Montana Wool Lab strives to improve wool quality while
educating students, growers and the public on the economical and environmental
benefits of sheep.
The Wool Lab is the last frame building on campus. Look for it, building 62, on our campus map.
