Which meat breed has decent wool quality but is less adaptable to various conditions?

The Dorset breed is known for its decent wool quality as well as its adaptability to certain conditions; however, it is generally less adaptable compared to some other breeds. Dorsets are primarily valued for their dual-purpose capabilities — meat and wool — making them a popular choice among sheep farmers.

While they can thrive in temperatures ranging from cool to mild, their performance can decline in harsher climates, such as extreme heat or severe cold. This limitation in adaptability is a defining characteristic of the breed.

The Dorper, by contrast, has been specifically bred for adaptability to hot climates and does not produce high-quality wool, focusing more on lean meat production. The Suffolk breed also leans primarily towards meat production with less emphasis on wool quality and is known for its hardiness and adaptability. Berkshire, however, refers to a pig breed and is not relevant in this context.

Thus, recognizing Dorset’s strengths in wool and meat production while also acknowledging its limitations in adapting to a wider range of environmental conditions makes it the correct answer in this context.
