Almost all the fleeces from the 2017 clip have been sold, but good news: the sheep are busily growing more lovely fleeces!! We hope to have them shorn a bit earlier this year in October, if possible.
I have been unable to source good quality sheep coats and I haven't had time to wash and repair our existing coats this year so most of the sheep have remained uncovered. The fleeces will have a dirtier tip than usual but hopefully we'll get them off the sheep before the spring grasses go to seed, to avoid seed contamination.

NEW SEASON'S FLEECES

Most 2017 fleeces have been sold, the following are still available:

As always, weights in black are approximate, weights in blue are accurate. Micron is a guesstimate!

WHITES @ $25/kg coated, $23/kg uncoated

LAST YEAR'S remaining white Merino fleeces are NOW 1/2 PRICE to clear!

SHEARING SOON!

Our small flock of Bond sheep are growing some beautiful fleeces this year! I'm still waiting to hear from the shearer about a date for shearing, but hopefully it will be in November. Once the sheep are shorn it will take me a week or two to class, weigh and photograph each fleece and post the info and pics here and on Shiloh Wool's Facebook page. Stay tuned......!
