Is fibre diameter variation along the staple a good indirect selection criterion for staple strength?

This is the catalogue record for a paper the old Livestock Library listed. We have not written a summary of it yet. The panel gives its full citation and, where we could confirm one, a link to where it can be read today.

It belongs to the Wool Technology and Sheep Breeding collection, published in the Wool Technology and Sheep Breeding.
