Re: [AlpacaTalk] Snark

 

Jennifer, 

They are free to offer whatever they wish, I just happen to think that we, the growers, should not have to go in the hole to provide fleece to them so they can make a killing on their finished product.

We are all entitled to our opinions, and this is mine, and shared by quite a few other people.

Here is what I don't understand,
someone out there is working a model to buy fleece and produce a product. They are forthright about their payment structure and requirements. Instead of being praised for actually DOING IT they are maligned. I don't get this.

Don't like the structure? Great, don't sell them your fleeces. Don't like their product? Great, don't buy them.

But the fact is they ARE buying fleeces which is a tremendous start. And for some a bit of cash flow from their fleeces is a positive thing.

There is a constant hue and cry that a fleece market is a must. But when some one takes that step, invests in the infrastructure to produce a product and then offers to buy fleeces there is a whine about it being at a low price. Guess what, THIS is what the range is when we are talking commodity pricing. Will I be sending them our fleeces? Nope. I will however praise them for actually making something happen. More power to them!
