Shearing is underway, reminder to put aside fleeces for your local show! Andrew Beaton is collecting entries for the Esperance Show (classes in comments) + it would be great to have a good turn out for the Condingup Fair in March 2026 (fine and medium wool from ewes / wethers).
He is pretty special, and he is up for grabs. ๐๐ฅฐ

This!๐๐๐ With sheep being such a focus over the past couple of years - this generation is coming through our schools with renewed passion!๐๐
Part 2 of our visit to Harvey Ag Collegeโs Open Day is here and this time, we hear from the students themselves. From hands-on experience and learning from industry leaders, to working alongside their mates and building job-ready skills, thereโs plenty that keeps these young guns coming back to the shed. Itโs clear the future of sheep and wool will be in good hands ๐

Back in May, the renowned Harvey Ag College hosted its annual Open Day, welcoming friends, family, and the wider community to celebrate the skills and passion of its students.
While the shearing shed was in full swing, our WA Industry Relations Officer, Tennille Norrish, caught up with Stephen Adams, Technical Officer of the Sheep section, to chat about what makes their program so valuable.
Itโs fantastic to see the next generation of our industry in action, with passionate mentors helping open doors to a career in sheep and wool.
Stay tuned for part 2 where we hear from the students! ๐๐

Positivity about our livestock industry, particularly the #merino was in focus last week. Two very well organised events! ๐๐

Engaging the next generation is key in ensuring the future of our industry. AWIโs education initiative, Learn About Wool does just that.
Designed for students from Kindergarten to Year 12, Learn About Wool offers a suite of curriculum-aligned resources that explore the natural benefits of Australian wool.
Through lesson plans, fact sheets and videos, students are introduced to the entire wool supply chain, from on-farm production to fibre properties, processing and final product.
Australian schools can also request a free resource kit including real fibre, yarn and fabric samples, factsheets and posters to assist hands on learning.

The EU is developing new textile sustainability policies that could unfairly disadvantage natural fibres like wool.
Thanks in part to the strong voice of Australian woolgrowers, this issue is already getting attention, but we need to keep the pressure on so that wool's eco benefits are not ignored.
