Havelock Wool acoustic panels vs fiberglass/Rockwool

I have recently found a company offering sheep's wool rigid acoustic panels, (https://havelockwool.com) Havelock Wool Company,  and am considering using them vs the the standard fiberglass/rockwool rigid panels for my DIY wall/ceiling absorbers for my new listening room. 

  The wool would seem to be safer at a casual glance and wool is supposed to be a superior sound absorber I believe.  The cost is a little more, but it is not terribly more expensive.

  I would be interested in others opinions on this approach.

I used Rockwool panels when I put my audio room together.  Had I known about this wool based product I suspect I would have gone with it instead given its superior performance (if their data is accurate)  Price does not seem that unreasonable--less than $200 for six 2inch 2x4 panels.  

Nice find!

(where are they getting all those sheep???????)
