Wool is one of Australia’s most valuable natural fibres, and proper preparation is essential for maintaining a consistent quality, maximising returns and gaining market access. When wool is poorly prepared, contamination can occur, leading to a lower market value and reduced profits. By following best practices, woolgrowers can ensure that their wool remains clean, well-lotted, and appealing to buyers.
