Wool is one of Australia’s most valuable natural fibres, and proper preparation is essential for maintaining a consistent quality, maximising returns and gaining market access. When wool is poorly prepared, contamination can occur, leading to a lower market value and reduced profits. By following best practices, woolgrowers can ensure that their wool remains clean, well-lotted, and appealing to buyers.
News
Rodents are becoming an increasing issue in wool handling, affecting both safety and commercial value. Mice and rats can cause significant damage—not just to property but also to the wool itself. Their presence compromises wool quality and poses serious health risks. Wool producers need to stay vigilant to protect their product and workplace.
Wool Preparation
Maintaining high-quality wool not only preserves Australia's global reputation but also ensures stronger demand and better prices for growers. Let's all do our part—educate staff, follow shed protocols, and keep Australian wool premium.
