Wool Handling Demonstration

On April 21, 2017 approximately 30 members of the wool trade representing wool depot operators, wool growers, shearers, spinners, weavers and CCWG staff participated in a very successful wool handling demonstration at CCWG wool grading warehouse in Carleton Place, Ontario.

The event also included a tour of the wool grading facility, CCWG Livestock Supplies store and the Real Wool Shop.

"I just wanted to thank-you for hosting the Wool Handling Seminar today. It was interesting to see what happens to wool after it's harvested from the sheep and hearing how to increase our return on wool. For all the times I've been there, it was my first time seeing the sorting process and touring the facility."
Thanks,
Tyler Armstrong
