Cleaning wool to get ready for the mill

Our temperatures have been in the high 80's and mid-90's for a week or so so last week I finally was able to get my outside wool cleaning operation set up.  I have all the fleeces out of the barn and they are each going through a thorough skirting followed by one hot soak to remove excess weight.  This really cuts down on the costs I'll have when I ship all the wool to the mill in January for processing into roving and batts. 

Two cattle panels covered with chicken wire provide a good 32 feet of 

drying space.
