Wool Sacks. Have I missed out?

[shearerlad]

Yeah, get some real sheep........

View attachment 966193......the handles are no good if you've got 192kg in one, you need the pallet tines

Get to 80/90 kgs in the heaviest, I'll try harder this year though

Wool sheets that leave here average 108/109kg every year.
My rousie’s best is 55 Cheviot Hoggs or 102 blackie ewes

When they used to send the price of wool in the post one page said "pack more wool to save haulage, average for collection center 60kg, your average 92kg". Always a personal challenge for my misses to pack 100kg in.

 

[Pistonbroke]

Ours are about 60 kg. Makes no difference when you're taking your own in,so roll it up somewhere near and shove it in

a couple of sheep that died while clipping them with the wool packed on top

Biggest fleece we've ever weighed here was 42.5lbs (19.3kg). Came off a 2 shear tup.
We get about the same number of fleeces in a sheet as our commercials but it's a lot heavier than ordinary wool.

Has anyone any idea what bwmb are planning to pay for wool this year ?

( not had 2nd payment for last yr yet mind )

 

[sticky]

I’m sure I read somewhere that it’s going to be between 16 & 20p a kilo for your average fleece.
but not positive enough to be quoted On that.

The missing shearing machine that he thinks the pikies have lifted!

 

[Wolds Beef]

What are you all messing about with wool sheets for ? Years ago I loaded the lorry(A ten tonne clydedale) with our wool backed in the shed at stamford and they graded it there and then.!!

Never heard that, but it’s hard work trying to get it to burn

I think that when people say they are going to burn it, you need a hell of a stack of pallets to get some heat.

The new sheets have two very secure straps at each end.

And two prominent notices saying: ''Do not use the straps for lifting''. Twarts.

It's cos a lad fell off a lorry pulling on a sack strap that snapped and he didn't bounce well, Go steady!

On the floor the handles are useful, just on't rely on them!

We realised no sheets day before shearing, thought have to run to Stamford, but luckily a local farm is a drop off for sheets so a lot easier

So why are the straps there? How much has it cost for the Wool Board to sow on the straps. And how much did it cost and how much ink was wasted in stamping notices at each end, warning us not to use the straps for lifting?

 

[Pistonbroke]

I wonder if the message about not lifting is meant for the wool depot when the bags are slung over the sorting table and hanging over people. They're pretty obsessed with HSE when you aren't allowed to go on your trailer to get bags off,even though you had to get on there to load it
