I'm all in favour of recycling. When I lived in a rural area, if we went out for a couple of hours and, on the way back, saw a road kill rabbit by the side of the road, it was picked up and taken home for tea. Any longer than a couple of hours and we left it for the birds.

They definitely aren't farmed here. We we to a possum tanning factory yesterday and were told they possums are considered as vermin. They have no predators and eat lots of crops so they are trapped and their skins used. Apparently you can only pluck the fur for spinning whilst the body is still warm.

Well we've just had a meeting today to organise things for selling at Wonderwool so as well as kidding, lambing and all the other things I normally fit in I'll be busy the next few weeks sorting and washing mohair.
I'm giving up sleeping for lent!

Find us on stand N6
A CRAFTY GOAT CLUB

I hope you'll all come and say hello and hopefully buy fleece, washed locks, dyed mohair, skeins of hand spun yarn and finished craft work. :wave:

I shall add you to my ever increasing shopping list! Some mohair to add all my other things for spinning will be ideal!

Where is it going to be held?
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

It's at the Royal Welsh Showground, Builth Wells, so not far from you, WBF. Will you be going?
