Wool Section at the Barraba Show
BARRABA SHOW 2024 - WOOL SECTION
With more producers moving to shorter shearing intervals, we have decided to continue a “Merino Short Wool” class in 2024. This class will be open to fleeces with 6-8 months of growth as well as the usual 12 month fleece classes. If this class receives sufficient support; it is intended to incorporate further short wool classes in future years as producers move away from 12 monthly shearing. We have also added a novel class for 2024.
Your fleeces can be left at the show office during the week of the show or at the wool pavilion by 2.30pm on Thursday 29th February.
The Chief Steward of the Wool Section, Ian McColl, was very happy with the number of entries last year but is hopeful of even more in 2024.
The wool section would like to thank Rocky Glen Ag, John Dunn, Doonba Pastoral, Brooklyn Land and Jack Robinson for donating their fleeces from the 2023 show and Howard Carter for Judging.
The wool section would like to thank the following sponsors for their continuing support from their sponsors; Taminda Wool Trading, IT & N Spencer Memorial, Schute Bell Badgery Lumby, Stock & Crop, Appledore Pastoral Company, Barraba Show Society, Rocky Glen Ag and JPM Contracting.
