Date Article Listed: 24/12/11

As the year draws to a close we would like to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and successful 2012. Although there are plenty of challenges ahead the baling weekend indicated that really positive gains are been made in the fleece area.

Thank you to everyone who attended workshops, assisted with displays, helped with baling and who contributed to the success of the year. May this time be a time for family and friends and a time to relax. Have a safe and happy break.


Fleece Baling Weekend

Date Article Listed: 24/11/11

Over the last weekend 19th & 20th of November a number of us met at Frank and Julienne Gelber's property at Orange to class and bale fleeces for the Primaries wool auction in December. Although it took a long time for those present it was an excellent learning experience and one all subscribers should try and be part of in the future. Some of the fleeces were very well prepared while others required further skirting. Thanks to those subscribers who contributed to the collection. In total over 700kgs of fleeces was classed and a number of bales of 110kgs were pressed and branded ready for sale. Some are still waiting to have enough fleece to make the necessary weight.

Many thanks to the Gelbers for their hospitality, to Jim Watts who classed every fleece and to Stuart Marshall, Richard Brennan, Julienne Gelber and David Mitchell for sorting , skirting, pressing and branding the bales. Go to the photo gallery for some pics of the days. By the time we finished all were exhausted but more informed by the experience. We wait to hear how the fleeces test and how they sell on the open wool market.
