Sheep were introduced into the American agricultural landscape by Spanish explorers in the 1500s. By 1810, the U.S. had a woolen textile industry in New England and sheep were a familiar sight in the countryside. Today, wool is produced in all 50 states. This stamp was issued by the United States Postal Service on January 19, 1971.
