Description

Wool, to sell to the best advantage on the market, must be presented so as to make a neat attractive appearance and show the quality and condition of each fleece. The manner in which a fleece is rolled or tied often has a direct bearing on the sale price of the wool. Every fleece should be rolled or folded with the flesh side out, and tied securely with a suitable twine as soon as it is taken from the sheep so the wool will not break apart when handled. A fleece or wool typing box will prove a very valuable piece of equipment in preparing the wool from the average farm flock for market. By its use each fleece can be tied securely into a neat compact bundle without the use of an excessive amount of string. A box of the type shown in the diagrams has proved very serviceable and is relatively inexpensive.
