Here is a quote from a recent email I received sharing the benefits of using the services of a certified sorter.

"One breeder told me after I sorted 3 years worth of fleece for her that she learned more about her herd and making breeding decisions with me sorting her fiber than she has in several years of showing the animals."

I'm not telling you to quit going to shows--I'm just sharing with you that there are lots of pieces to the puzzle and the more information we have the better able we will be to make quality breeding decisions as well as maximizing the value of the fiber they produce.

Check out the list above and schedule to attend one that fits your schedule or geographic location. In the big scope of things this service is worth so much more than the charge per fleece. Just knowing that by the end of shearing day all of the fiber is ready to go with recommendations for its highest and best use along with details we can use for future breeding decisions--wish we had known about this years ago. I'll be going to see Robyn in action at Snowy River Alpacas in May and Carrie will be at our farm in June. Don't miss this opportunity.
