Fleece Processing Prior to Shipment
Withing a few days after shearing,
each of the fleeces is heavily skirted to remove any wool containing unwanted contaminants. For example, in 2007 we
skirted 140 pounds of rejected wool off of our total gross fleece weight of 297 pounds - almost half of our wool!
After heavy skirting, a fleece is hand-picked to remove any small contaminant pieces that may be visible, resulting in a
clean, vegetable-matter-free, beautiful fleece, ready for photographing, weighing, and boxing for shipment. Sample staples
for each fleece are randomly selected, tested for strength, and then photographed with the identification card for that fleece
and a ruler. Finally, the fleece is folded and rolled, skin side out, placed in a plastic bag and stored in a temperature
controlled climate. Just prior to shipping, the bag is sealed, boxed, and addressed, ready for transportation to you!
Please feel free to contact us with any questions or coments - we are happy to hear from you!
Shipping
Shipping cost to your address
in the continental U.S. and Canada will be estimated and included in your Paypal invoice when you are ready for check-out.
Within the U.S., normally, we ship via USPS Priority Mail, unless you request USPS Parcel Post or the cost difference
between the two is more than $1.00. If you require two-day or overnight shipping for your fleece(s), please let
us know at the time of your order, and we will notify you of additional shipping costs prior to shipment.
Transport of live animals is the responsibility of the buyer unless
other arrangements are made. We do, at times, deliver breeding stock to the purchaser for a fee. If you are interested
