The event also included a tour of the wool grading facility, CCWG Livestock Supplies store and the Real Wool Shop.

"I just wanted to thank-you for hosting the Wool Handling Seminar today. It was interesting to see what happens to wool after it's harvested from the sheep and hearing how to increase our return on wool. For all the times I've been there, it was my first time seeing the sorting process and touring the facility."
Thanks,
Tyler Armstrong
