Steve, how many clips have a properly filled out speci and NWD. Can there be any improvements in presenting clips based on non mulesed and mulesed. Would it be better to have NWD as a condition of sale? What do you think of Sustain a Wool as an accreditation program? Any improve.

Steve who is RWS? Who overseer their accreditation and audit negotiations? Does ethical wool production need set of measurable metrics to test improvement or what happens if there is a breach? Who is the “Policeman”?

Condition of sale seems obvious, should the Classer be trained and given role to be the annual auditor of the accreditation program. That person could up load into e- speci the metrics from the years ethical wool production on the farm. Stock reconciliation, WHS.

It seems to be to late if the farm is audited every couple of years if there is a breach, the wool has been sold ,produced into a garment for a premium? That’s just marketing gone wrong??

Steve, is non mulesed wool the only accredited wool buyers are prepared to pay $2 kg more for? Should the wool market reports show quantities & prices for non mulesed wool?

Steve, how robust are the wool accreditation programs at presenting ethically produced wool? How do the wool brokers administer and audit the on farm accreditation programs. They aren’t going to loose a client if client breaches criteria??

AWI and AWEX should together set the standard for the wool industry. Stand behind and promote the Woolmark brand. Clip prep, training, Classer rego and training, Inc Sustain a Wool as the accreditation standard setter. Condition of sale only after E Speci and NWD completed.

Classers with training and giving responsibility to run audit and accreditation system. Comparative metrics for accreditation are needed. This takes out subjective bias from inflict of interested parties. Only if wool industry is serious about differentiation of their product.

Martin, no just pay for use. Most accreditation schemes aren’t robust enough. What happens if there is a breach of criteria on farm? Are the mortalities monitored for benchmarking and continuous improvement? What happened to Clipcare and Dalcare?

@KerinPollMerino Tom Bull We were looking at an infrastructure rework on our home property last year and with the near doubling of sheds and yards it is near impossible to justify the costs involved for smaller scale operators.Any ideas?
