Most of the sheep were sheared last May. Since we didn’t receive any bids on it, we stored it in our new hoop shed, north of Dixon. Our friendly wool broker, Mike Corn of Roswell Wool, advised us that the market should be active come fall, so we waited for that time. Sure enough, we sold the wool to a buyer who will ship it to China for further processing. Here are photos of the wool being loaded onto a truck for California. Due to California’s Byzantine regulations, this truck will take it to Bakersfield, where it will be reloaded for transport to the port, where it will be loaded again onto a ship.
