[AlpacaTalk] Fleece sample testing
I just received this reply from Montana State University regarding
their fleece testing. They do use the OFDA 2000 and charge $2.00 US per
sample. I think we all need to support our public colleges and
universities, and this would be a great way to do it! MSU also has a
"Sheep School" which includes a shearing course for only $100 per
student! I'm thinking about attending that, myself! And here's a link:
