Still got 700 in the shed.
How early can you send a couple of sheets (I found a couple stuffed in the back of the sheep shed) to release the money from last years wool, I ask because I sent 60 sheets that weighed 5120kg and even at 30p/kg that's £1536, I could really do with that money come March.

Do you expect them to collect it free like ?You might need a big shed..... The wool board charge to collect the darn stuff..!

We usually get a letter from the Newtown depot saying that we can book an appointment to deliver from May 1st. Presumably that would be as early as you could take it, if you could get an appointment.
They tell me their phones don’t stop ringing for a few days, with everyone trying to get it in as early as possible.

I think they should.if they want it they should come get it.
Hope you find some. Please excuse the hilarity. Sometimes it helps ease pain!

They don’t want it they just just auction it on your behalf , the mart dosent pay haulage , same thing .

On our behalf or on their behalf.... I suspect being on the board pays rather better than producing fleece

But surely they do want it ,no wool nothing to auction ,so no job for them.
Some marts do pay haulage.
Way I see it is I have to pay haulage on all the by products I buy be it straw,sawdust, bread ect...but when I've got a by product to sell I've still to pay the haulage.just seems its the usual farmer acting as everyone else's cash cow.

I suspect being an auctioneer pays better than producing livestock most of the time too.
Moved on from Range Rovers at Welshpool I see. There was a Porsche with personalised plates parked up there on Monday…
