Great work. Hope there is enough demand to get the wool industry back on its feet.

The sheep industry is booming at the moment. Farmers on the east coast are restocking, and demand for lamb has sent the price going from 50cents a head at it's worst, to $250 a head.

I think chicken is back on the menu.........

Due to the Queensland flooding there is a current world-wide shortage of wool, which has been exacerbated by a global cotton shortage as well. Fiber products will certainly be in demand for some time to come.

At least you're not trying to ram one more in there... butting heads over this would just be silly. No, no pulling the wool over our eyes, no sir.
