Southern Tier Sheep & Wool Growers Annual Wool Pool
- Friday, September 11, 2015, 12:00 PM - Saturday, September 12@ 12:00 PM
The Southern Tier Sheep & Wool Growers Annual Wool Pool will be held Friday and Saturday, September 11th & 12th, 2015 at the Otsego County Fair Grounds in Morris, NY. Prices per pound last year were as follows: - white wool: $0.7148 - white off-sorts: $0.4132 - naturally colored wool: $0.1510
They will refuse to accept any wool showing evidence of plastic twine or ragged plastic, or wool brought to the pool in fiberglass feed bags. They will not accept wet wool. Any wool contaminated with wood shavings, moths (or castings), grain, burdocks, sheep keds or lice, skin pieces, rodent excrements, or excessive vegetable matter will be placed in the off-sorts category or may be rejected. You can bring any number of fleeces, from one to a thousand. All are welcome. The wool pool is a buying cooperative, run by volunteers. No one makes any money there except you, the producers. There is no middleman. The wool pool is also a social event. Come and sell your fleeces and also talk sheep with other flock owners. Refreshments will be provided. It's fun.
