Proposal summary:

A consortium of wool growers need to improve their animal management and shearing techniques in order to participate in a blanket production project. A technical adviser will offer information about feeding, supplements, and housing, and will be on hand during shearing to demonstrate how to shear the best wool and bag it properly. The overall goal is to increase participation in the consortium, which must maintain high standards to be viable.
