Chairman's Welcome To Graze - December

It’s December already, where did the year go? For those of you that lamb early, I hope all is going well and for others, it may be time to start preparing for the lambing season ahead.  If you still have some wool sheets in your sheds, I urge you once again to get in touch with your local depot and book your wool in.

Within this latest issue of Graze, we have the first instalment of Your Wool a two-part insight into what happens from delivering your wool through to grading and testing. Next month we will investigate what happens between grading and the auction of your wool. 

Also read about the Irish Farmers Association and Ulster Farmers Union visit to British Wool Headquarters in Bradford.

There is also a report on our consumer campaign Wool Month.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support in 2022 and wish you and your family a truly enjoyable Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
