Ulster Wool invites sheep farmers to Depot

The open day will be an opportunity to have a guided tour of the grading depot covering all aspects from intake, grading and packing wool. This will also be an ideal opportunity for sheep farmers to meet their local Board Member, Regional Committee Member, Depot Staff and members of the Ulster Wool Executive team. Information will be available on the recovering wool market, prices, shearing training and the exciting developments on driving front end demand and promoting the benefits of wool to consumers.

Jayne Harkness-Bones, Joint Depot Manger at Ulster Wool said; “Many farmers don’t get the opportunity to see what goes on in our depot or what we are doing to promote and maximize their returns as farmer members. The open day will be an opportunity to visit our depot and learn more about what is happening within Ulster Wool and the wool sector.”
