Clean Wool Brings More Profits Says AMES Extension Expert
Ames Iowa June 2 Keeping wool clean and free of straw and foreign material at shearing time boosts fleece value says C W McDonald extension specialist in sheep and wool production at Iowa State College. He notes dirt fees may drop from three to four cents per pound if not. He advises laying fleece on a clean board with the skin side down and removing trash while folding sides and neck, then rolling from tail to shoulder into a compact bundle. Wool should be tied with paper or wool twine and tied so fibers aren’t crushed or mixed with other fleeces.
