Whilst I agree with you. If we get rid of the 'bottom end' it COULD lift the value of wool for the rest of us

Do you honestly see Blackie and Swale breeders getting rid of their wool...

no , but you have the choice of shearing or not , huge boon for small flocks who pay £5-10 a head or farmers with fragmented nursing flocks that take a day or more to muster , only for shearers not too turn up or weather turns ,
would be miraculous for my 120kg+ stock rams , my ram hoggs would only have dirty low value wool after a winter out riding each other anyway,
, , less reliance on chemical pour ons ,
All benefits of shedding sheep , but can use more terminal / better shaped types from a simple protein injection (at any time of year)
Sheep will still need shearing and gives greater flexibility to whole industry , and assume cost could be more competative with more use .

 

[Plain steer]

What’s the Irish firms paying for wool this year?

 

[Jerry]

I can see the advantages to wool-less sheep... and there is a big part of me wants to make the leap.

But I value my wool and see it as an extra income (we have very little pour on and dagging costs compared to others - in a 'normal' year). So I cling on to it, for now... I'm also stupid enough to enjoy shearing (most days!) and would maybe miss doing it

If you ever made the leap, I wouldn't even charge you for the pleasure of coming to shear mine!

 

[teslacoils]

Would it burn in a biomass boiler?

I've never paid, or been paid, for pleasure yet

 

[Tubbylew]

Don't worry son, I'll need them. I'll take your sheets if you dump your wool

I hope it won't come to that tbf, it would be a shocking waste of a useful product.

I don't think a shortage of wool would increase the price much tbh, as said on the other thread, wool is a tiny percentage of fibre, the manfactures would just use different fibres both natural and synthetic, alternative uses and promotion might help a bit, when was the last time anyone saw a wool product advertised nationally?

theres only so long farmers will put up with subsidising the wool trade , if it costs more to shear than its worth they will find other ways and trade will be gone , the current interest in shedders is case in point its not about carcase quality which is only adequate . Will be same with meat production assuming BSP goes and nothing of note replaces it , Organised Big business has removed any profitability from the whole production side and yet we carry the welfare and enviromental control alone

 

[The sheep dipper man]

What’s the Irish firms paying for wool this year?

About 20p kilo

 

[Gator]

At least they wont be full of holes and need stitching up, picked 30 up when i took wool in last year, theres not one without bloody big holes in, its time we had some new sheets

Wool board must of read mi post
got a delivery this mornin , NEW sheets, and wi handles on


Seems a shame to use um??

 

[andybk]

Ring and ask the depot?

had a word this morning wool stores are getting very full , with hangover from last year , no problem with next years sheets but they appreciate the call so they can make a record on their system . downside is my local collection point has finished , nearest one now is 40 miles away going to be interesting hauling that lot next year .

heard that one out fit here. will start charging for storage if wool passed in a few times at sales
know years ago in the 1990-1991 when working in aussie. one out fit opened a new. storage unit after a year building it. and was full with in weeks. of wool being passed in at sales
do not want to go back to the days of a wool mountain

 

[Tubbylew]

Ther'll be a black market for sheets "wool sheet for sale 30,000 free diy sock kits included"

 

[Green farmer]

Around here we just fire wool in to old 1/2 tonne fert bags and pull them around by the handle. Not as neat as the sheets, but hey, with current values, doesnt make any difference ?‍

 

[Frank-the-Wool]

About 20p kilo

Only for the good stuff apparently, they don't want any of the coarser stuff at all.

I think I would still take it to BWMB as you have a better chance of getting more if the price does go up. Wool has been known to alter in price by more than 50% in a year!!
