Re: [AlpacaTalk] snarky post

 

I agree Heather.  If you pay the shearer $25 to shear the animal, $15 to have the fleece sorted and the fleece weighs 5# blanket - the sorting you would definitely be in the hole. Shipping is very pricy also.  Always do the math .   Margaret Laird Jamestown, Pa --- On Thu, 1/27/11, Heather Zeleny <alpacatalk@gmail.com> wrote: From: Heather Zeleny <alpacatalk@gmail.com> Subject: [AlpacaTalk] snarky post To: AlpacaTalk@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, January 27, 2011, 6:56 PM   Did everyone see that eBlast from the people who want to buy your fleeces, minimum 3.5", and sorted, grades 1-4, for UP TO $3 a POUND? For crying out loud, I hope no one falls for this. Getting a fleece sorted is at least $15 per fleece, and cost of shearing, and shipping... I think you'd lose money on this deal. Much better to send it to a local mini mill and have it spun to sell.
