Producing, selling and processing sheep wool (South Bohemia)

The bachalor thesis is focused on difficulties with wool sales. In the last years, sheap shearing was sometimes only an animal welfare activity with no profit for the farmer. The aim of the thesis was to analyse the conditions under which the wool from the South Bohemian farmers is sold to the wool buyers. The thesis was also focused on altenative uses of fleece, that would have assured greater demand even for medium and coarse wools. The thesis describes history of sheep husbandry, current state of sheep farming in CR, and wool uses examples. It also charts the wool bueyrs and wool processing companies. The conclusion is dedicated to the new form of wool use, which allows using low-grade and coarse wool
