Inclusion Of Stipe Wools

Slipe wools from freezing works should be included in the appraisal and purchase scheme, says the Wool Marketing Study Group. The wools make up about 12 per cent of all wool sold. Appraisals could be carried out monthly and the appraised price incorporated in the meat operators’ schedule. The authority could then establish a market price at which the wool would be purchased by

the meat operator, who would then arrange for its sale overseas. Alternatively the authority itself could arrange for the sales, which could be on a sample basis. Discussing scoured wool, the group says it would be simpler if all wool was appraised before scouring. The authority would then determine the quantities and types to be scoured. If scoured wool were included in the scheme the bareme of prices would “reflect the authority’s assessment of the profitability of disposal of wool in this state.”
