The real order is…
    California produces about 1× as much as #2 Wyoming!
    📚 Background Texas has the most sheep — but California wins the wool! Many Texas sheep today are “hair sheep” breeds raised for meat that shed naturally and never need shearing. California and Wyoming are in a near photo-finish. (USDA NASS Quick Stats)
