Viaggiatore Estas ovejas forman parte de la historia de España: las merindades
Viaggiatore No encuentro información que conecte las merindades con las ovejas, a menos que quieras decir que “merino” (la oveja) viene de una merindad en España…..?
Viaggiatore Sí, las ovejas merinas fueron una potente industria en España desde finales de la Edad Media hasta el S XVIII. La merina fue un monopolio español y su exportación se castigó incluso con la muerte. La trashumancia, el traslado de las ovejas en busca de pastos, estuvo protegida por una institución llamada la Mesta. Las ovejas recorrían España de norte a sur y de sur a norte a través de los caminos reales.

Viaggiatore Do the sheep mind being sheared? That one seems to be ok with it.
Viaggiatore Yes, they don’t seem to mind at all. Murray said it’s a matter of comfort for them, just finding a good position.
Viaggiatore How long does it take for all that wool to grow back? Do they use it or sell it?
