2021 WOOL POOL IN MORRIS, NY
Morris - Southern Tier Sheep and Wool Growers annual Wool Pool will be Friday, September 10, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday, September 11, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Otsego County Fair Grounds, Morris, NY. Please make sure you are signed in before closing time.
Producers will receive $.40 per pound for clean white wool. The wool will be separated into two categories: good clean wool and off-sorts/short wool. We will not be accepting naturally colored wool this year.
The Southern Tier Sheep & Wool Growers pool is a producer friendly pool. It is a place to see old and new friends and to network with other shepherds about rams, ewes, equipment and markets.
When you shear or if you have already shorn try to keep your wool clean and dry. Store out of the sun and away from vegetable matter and polypropylene.
If you have any questions or are looking for more information, please contact Sue Smith at (607)293-8810.
