Did you know that wool was so prized in medieval Europe that entire economies were built around its trade? Its value and utility have stood the test of time. Here are a few more interesting facts about wool: 🐑One of its nicknames is the ‘fibre of civilization.’ 🐑The sheep industry began in central Asia over 10,000 years ago. 🐑Wool-spinning began in 3500 BC. 🐑The first sheep were black; white sheep were a genetic exception that became highly prized because they produce dyeable fiber. At Hinterveld, we have a deep appreciation for wool and its exceptional qualities and love adding to the history of this beautiful fibre. Our commitment to quality and sustainability ensures that you enjoy the best of what this remarkable fibre has to offer. #wool #naturalfibre #Hinterveld #fibreofcivilizasion

Is eID a cost or an investment? With clients across Australia, we are using eID as a tool to capture information that is important to the client. Sheepmatters has many clients where #Wool is an important economic driver of their business. With the wool market at present been well below the 50% percentile in just about all micron categories (bottom 5% in plus 25-micron categories) many of #sheepmatters clients believe is more important than ever to ID the maiden ewes that are low in #$fleecevalue, and not breed for that trait, that is highly heritable. Sheepmatters clients know that sheep have a significant cost of production, but those same sheep have a huge range in what gross income they contribute to the business = wide range in net income. Using eID to ID important wool data (fleece weight, micron and yield) puts all the ewes on the same starting line. Let's see which ones finish first, second and third, but more importantly which ones cross the finishing line last!

Did you know that most of our woolen clothes come from Australian sheep? Discover why mulesing, a controversial practice only done in Australia, should concern us all. 🌏 Dive into our latest blog post, "7 Crucial Questions About Mulesing and Pain Relief," where we unravel the truths behind wool production 🐑. Around 70 million sheep are shorn annually in Australia, contributing to a billion-dollar industry. However, the process isn't always as cosy as it seems. Recent investigative footage exposes the distressing reality behind mulesing 🐑✂️🩸, even with pain relief. Join us in advocating for change to end the suffering of lambs, transition to pain-free alternatives, and protect sheep from flystrike. Fortunately, hundreds of major brands are committing to a mulesing-free future, reflecting the increasing global demand for non-mulesed wool. Let's work together to protect vulnerable lambs. 🌿 Check out the blog post for deeper insights: ➡️ https://brnw.ch/21wGssr

The Australian wool market showed resilience despite challenges, with wool prices showing stability in Australian dollars. However, the depreciation of the Australian dollar against major trading currencies led to a modest 1.4% loss. The Merino fleece sector experienced substantial losses, particularly in 18 micron and finer super fine and ultra-fine Merino fleece wools. Skirtings remained resilient, while crossbred and carding types sold firm. #wool growers contributed to a low passed-in rate of 7.9%, with most passed-in wool belonging to the Merino fleece sector. China's influence and Australia's largest exporter also contributed to market stability- https://lnkd.in/eZ3YuZ6S
