The wool pool by the group
this year will be for one day,
probably held the third week
in June.
Lamb prices are presently
climbing, due to the Easter
market. While the group
plans no lamb pools, it was
announced that the Carlisle
Easter Market lamb sale
will be March 17.
Roland Freund, Cum
berland County Extension
Agent, spoke on preparing
wool clips. Quality wool, he
related is the product of
careful flock management
maintained throughout the
year. This needs to be done
to avoid the problems of
tender fleeces and foreign
matter in the wool which are
the most frequent reasons
for downgrading wool.
Freund went on to say that
wormy, weak, and sick
sheep produce tender-fleeces
when, due to stress or fever,
the wool temporarily stops
growing. To reduce the
chances of this, sheep
owners should keep sheep
healthy and well fed while
not overly fat. The 'sheep
should be wormed regularly.
Any illnesses, and lameness
must be treated promptly.
While difficult to eliminate
straw, burrs, etc., from
wool, it is possible to keep
sheep cleaner with care.

weeds in pasture fields
should be maintained. Hay
and grain should be kept off
sheep’s backs and heads
when they are fed. When
bedding is put down, the
sheep can be driven outside.
At shearing time, fleece
damage cah be avoided with
a little care. Sheep should be
sheared on a clean dry floor,
with a clean tarpaulin on the
ground if necessary. Wet
sheep should not be sheared
with all animals housed for
24 hours before shearing
time.
Dirty ewes should be
crotched out before
shearing. Second cuts when
shearing should be avoided.
Fleeces are to be tied with
the flesh-side out. Only
paper twine is best when
tying the fleeces, as other
twine gets into the wool and
cannot be removed in
processing.
Wool should never be
placed in woven plastic
bags. Shreds of the plastic
get into the fleece. And
finally, he added, wool
should be stored m a dry
clean place.
All 4-H members from
Adams, Cumberland,
Dauphin, Lebanon, and York
County present at the
banquet were recognized.
Two directors, Alex Kessel
and Robert Holtry, were
elected for terms until 1981.
Also elected to office was
Edward Luhn, as auditor.
