2021 PRODUCER INFORMATION AND WOOL VALUES British Wool, Your Trusted Partner. britishwool.org.uk PRODUCER INFORMATION AND WOOL VALUES Welcome to British Wool’s Producer Information and Wool Values booklet. As a cooperative, we firmly believe that the collaborative marketing of the UK wool clip by British Wool is the best way to deliver value for wool producers. If anything, the principal of collaborative marketing is even more essential today than it was when British Wool was established in 1950. The wool clip needs to be sorted and amalgamated into commercial weights if it is to be used by manufacturers and achieve value for producers. The average clip size in the UK is around 500kg and this typically comprises 10 grades of wool. The UK is fortunate to still have two commercial scouring plants but these typically process wool in 50,000kg batches. Export to other markets such as China is in 24,000kg shipping containers where all lots must be core tested. Without our scale, grading and testing the clip would have lower value and the viability of UK wool processing would be jeopardised. With 35,000 members we are able to both aggregate the clip into commercial weights and offer a true nationwide service handling the wool from all UK wool producers, no matter what type of wool, or how much wool they have. The more wool we handle the more cost effective our operations become, which in turn allows us to return more value to all producers. If an additional 1000 farmers each delivered 500kg, our operating costs for all producers would fall by 1p per kilo. With this in mind please encourage your colleagues in the farming community to support British Wool and deliver their wool this year. Within this booklet, please find important information including: • The British Wool process • Organic, Lamb and Second Shear wool • Removal of carriage fees from all British Wool drop off points • How we are marketing your wool • Grading system and wool values • Depot and drop off network • Board and Regional Committee Member contact information On behalf of the Board and all at British Wool we would like to thank you for your continued support and wish you well for the coming season.

AGM The 2021 Annual General Meeting of registered producers will be held on Wednesday 10th November 2021. More details on the format of the AGM will be announced in due course

2 GUIDANCE FOR DELIVERING WOOL TO DEPOTS Due to the Covid-19 situation being fast-moving and a rapidly changing situation, this guidance may change at short notice. It’s important to stay up-to-date with the latest advice provided by the government British Wool’s depots have remained open throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and in order to keep everyone safe, the below guidance should be followed when visiting a depot to deliver your wool: • All producers wanting to deliver their wool should make contact with the depot to make an appointment beforehand. Each producer will be given a time slot which enables us to manage risk and reduce the number of producers on site at any one time. • Upon arrival at the depot, producers should report to a designated area near intake that will be clearly visible with signage / notices to ensure everyone complies with Covid-19 social distancing guidance. • Producers will then be directed to the intake area for delivery of their wool. • A supply of disposable gloves will be made available in the intake area so that every producer handing wool sheets, wears protective gloves. • Depot staff will frequently clean and disinfect high touch areas, for example, door handles. • All visitors to the depot should minimise contact with our employees and should only be on site for the time it takes to drop off their wool safely. • Social distancing should be implemented at all times, if face to face contact is necessary, please remain at least two metres away from depot staff and other visitors.

3 Contents THE BRITISH WOOL PROCESS

Register with British Wool. 1 VAT registered? Complete a Self-Billing Agreement.

2 Wool sheets and labels distributed to producers via the depot network.

Sheep are shorn. 3 Fleeces are rolled & packed into wool sheets provided (green sheets for organic wool).

Wool sheets are labelled (name, address and registration number). 4 If using a haulier, please complete paperwork provided.

Wool sheets are collected by haulier or delivered by the producer to 5 a depot or drop off location.

Wool is graded by type and weight. 6 Producers receive grading notification.

Wool is packed into commercial weights and tested for yield, colour, 7 and micron ahead of auctions.

8 Wool is sold in auctions held throughout the year.

Final value of wool is calculated based on the weight and grade 9 delivered and the prices achieved at auction.

10 Payment is credited when wool is delivered next season.

4 Contents FLEECE PRESENTATION Well-presented fleeces are much quicker and easier for our staff to grade and help minimise our operating costs. Poorly presented and unrolled fleeces may be graded at a much lower value. To maximise your clip value please follow the approved method of fleece presentation as illustrated below. After shearing throw out the fleece onto a clean surface flesh side down. (Fleeces from the Blackface, Herdwick and Rough Fell breeds should be laid flesh side up.)

Pick off any extraneous matter, e.g. straw, and remove any daggings.

Include only clean, dry belly wool with the fleece before folding the flanks towards the centre.

Turn in the britch end and roll the fleece firmly and neatly towards the neck.

After rolling, part the fleece.

Without twisting, tuck the neck wool firmly into the body of the fleece.

The finished fleece is firm and secure. Place the tucked fleece firmly into the wool sheet.

Where possible pack fleeces from different breeds and types separately to avoid cross contamination and a reduced wool value. • Do not mix hill wool with lowland wool. Kemp from hill wools can cause cross contamination and spoil lowland fleeces. • Do not mix coloured wool with white wool. Coloured fibres will contaminate white wool. • Do not mix wool from hoggs with wool from ewes and wethers. • Keep Bluefaced Leicester and Teeswater / Wensleydale fleeces separate from mule fleeces. Fleeces can be placed in a bag within the same wool sheet. • Do not mix oddments with fleece wool.

5 Contents PACKING Wool should be delivered to British Wool in wool sheets. These will be distributed by your local depot ahead of the new wool season. If you need wool sheets please contact your local depot directly. To aid operations in our depots we ask that wool sheets are evenly filled and well packed. When properly packed, wool sheets should hold approximately 80kg of wool. This will however vary depending on wool type. Use of a packing frame can help ensure that all sheets are evenly packed. These can be purchased from British Wool or improvised using a couple of farm gates / hurdles as shown below.

LABELS Every year British Wool handles approximately 24 million kg of wool, in half a million wool sheets, from almost 35,000 producers. As such it is essential that all wool is clearly labelled by the producer. All wool sheets should be clearly labelled with the producer’s name, address and registration number. Your registration number is a unique identifier and has seven digits. Sheet labels are provided for this purpose with the wool sheets. One label should be attached to the outside of each wool sheet and another inserted in the sheet with the wool. If using a haulier, please complete paperwork provided. If your wool is not clearly identifiable it is much more challenging for British Wool to ensure that you are paid correctly.

6 Contents AVOID DAMAGING YOUR WOOL Wool can be easily damaged which will impact negatively on price. In many cases this can be avoided with a little extra care.

Damaged wool (Fault code F) Where sheep have been shorn damp, or fleeces have been stored in damp conditions, wool can become brittle and suffer from discolouration. Please store your wool in a clean dry place and avoid storing in direct contact with concrete floors.

Vegetable matter contamination (Fault code V) Some vegetable matter contamination is unavoidable in areas of natural grazing but many cases are avoidable. Please avoid shearing your sheep on straw.

Excessive marking (Fault code H) Excessive marking can make wool more difficult to process. Please use sheep marking fluids sparingly and always use British Wool approved marking fluids.

Please don’t send in wool that has been damaged by Fly Strike or infected by Sheep Scab. Fleeces containing maggots are likely to damage other wools.

Please refer to pages 18 - 19 for full fault grade listing and prices.

LICENSED MARKER PRODUCTS

Our licensed marker products are easy to identify as they bear this logo.

7 Contents ORGANIC WOOL British Wool handles organic wool separately in order to maximise it’s value. In order to meet the requirements of the UK Organic Control Bodies, Organic producers must deliver their wool in green wool sheets. If required these should be requested from your local depot. Organic wool producers must also provide evidence of their organic status on the date their wool is delivered to British Wool. The Organic Certificate and associated trading schedule must state “Sheep”. Only wool from the farm detailed on the Organic Certificate can be graded and paid as organic.

Approved UK Organic Control Bodies; • Organic Farmers & Growers CIC (GB-ORG-02) • Organic Food Federation (GB-ORG-04) • Soil Association Certification Ltd (GB-ORG-05) • Biodynamic Association Certification (GB-ORG-06) • Irish Organic Association (GB-ORG-07) • Organic Trust Limited (GB-ORG-09) • Quality Welsh Food Certification Ltd (GB-ORG-13) • OF&G (Scotland) Ltd (GB-ORG-17)

No Organic Premium was paid on 2020 wool receipts. This wool however achieved a premium when sold. This will be reflected by a10p per kg premium on Fine and Medium types and a 5p per kg premium on Mule types.

LAMB WOOL Lamb wool is graded as it is received and paid for on the same basis as fleece wool. This allows us to spread the sale of Lamb wool through the year and ensures that producers receive fair value.

SECOND SHEAR WOOL British Wool produces 3 grades of second shear (Medium, Romney and Mule). In order to be classed as second shear the wool must have sufficient staple length; wool that is shorn too short has very limited commercial value. In order to be graded as “Second Shear” rather than “Locks” the wool should generally have at least four month’s growth. As a minimum the staple length should be 7.5cm (3 inches) and generally 10cm (4 inches). Any wool shorter than this is liable to be graded as locks and producers will be paid accordingly.

Please write ‘Lamb Wool’ or ‘Second Shear’ on wool sheets labels to identify these types of wool in your delivery.

8 Contents MINIMISE YOUR TRANSPORT COSTS Wool producers have the option of delivering their wool to one of our depots / drop off locations or having it collected from farm by one of our network of hauliers. Contact details for each of our depots and drop off locations are detailed in this booklet from page 21. If you require your wool to be collected, your local grading depot will also be able to put you in touch with the haulier that covers your area. Details of our depots, drop off locations and hauliers can also be found on the British Wool website. Deliveries to British Wool grading depots or approved drop off locations as detailed on pages 21 - 29 incur no onward carriage charge. A small transport charge is applied for each sheet collected from farm by our hauliers. • Haulier collections of 2000kg and above: £5.15 per sheet • Haulier collections of 500kg to 1999kg: £7.45 per sheet • Haulier collections of less than 500kg: £10.80 per sheet Producers will also benefit from packing more wool into each sheet. By packing your wool into fewer sheets the carriage charges will be lower, based on the above volumes and rates. Where possible, all wool for the 2021 season should be delivered no later than 28 February 2022. Wool delivered after 1 March 2022 may not be graded until after 1 May 2022 and will be paid in accordance with the 2022 wool season prices.

10 Contents MARKETING YOUR WOOL Despite the challenges posed by Covid-19 we have made steady progress over the past 12 months on our consumer marketing programme. Examples of our activities over the past 12 months are highlighted below: Social Media We continue to experience good follower growth across our consumer social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest) and we now have over 90k consumer followers across all channels. This gives us a large, growing and highly engaged audience to which we can promote and grow our brand, promote our licensees products (driving sales) and communicate the many benefits of wool products and wool in general. It also allows us to engage with and educate consumers on farming more generally.

E-commerce Website To help drive sales of British wool rich products and meet the increasing consumer interest in such products we are launching a new e-commerce website (britishwool.org.uk/consumer). This site enables us to sell our licensees products direct to consumers at competitive prices. Not only does this add a lot of value to our licensees helping to encourage them to develop more British wool rich products and also attract more UK based licensees we also receive a healthy commission on every item sold through the website. The site currently has 10 licensees across a wide range of products from knitwear and yarn to dog beds! The plan is to increase the number of licensees over the coming 12 months and make this site the go to site for everything British wool!

Retail Activation Programme During the summer we managed to install our new carpet displays stands in 10 retailers across the UK. The initial feedback was extremely positive in that the stands were stimulating a lot of very positive conversations and leading to new sales of British wool rich carpets. Due to lockdowns the trial has been extended and we will be working closely with the 10 retailers over the coming 6 months ahead of a roll-out to a wider audience.

Other Activity • We are working on numerous new product development projects across a broad range of products and hope many will be launched in the coming season helping to increase the demand for our wool through the auction. • One significant product development project is a 100% British wool range with one of the leading flooring suppliers in the UK, we are looking at launching in September and over time this should drive some significant additional demand for carpet type wool. • Work continues in China building the British Wool brand and targeting new users for British wool across a wide range of product categories.

To find out more about our consumer marketing, email [email protected] or follow @BritishWool on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. 11 Contents GRADING SYSTEM ADDS VALUE Given the number of sheep breeds, there is huge variety in the quality and characteristics of the wool produced in the UK. Grading every fleece individually adds value for our producers as this separates the better quality wool from the poorer, with the better quality achieving a higher price. The amalgamation of wool of a consistent type also enables it to be processed commercially by downstream manufacturers. British Wool’s grading system sorts wool based upon both its style and characteristics. The style of the wool is generally determined by its staple length, crimp, fineness, handle and lustre. There are six main styles of British wool. These are; Fine, Medium, Cross, Lustre, Hill and Mountain. In addition British Wool produces a number of speciality wools. These have distinctive characteristics and are usually specific to a particular breed. British Wool’s speciality types are Dorset, Jacob, Masham, Teeswater / Wensleydale, Lincoln, Shetland, Exmoor Horn, Hebridean and Herdwick. Within each style of wool, fleeces are graded by quality with judgements made across a range of characteristics. These include; whether the wool comes from a Hogg or a Ewe, Colour, Staple Strength, Uniformity, Kemp, Grey Fibre and Cotts. Organic wool, lamb wool, winter shorn wool and oddments are processed separately. Grading terms explained;

GRADING TERMS GRADING TERMS HOGG First shear up to 15 months growth DISCOLOURED Natural discolouration, yellow in colour EWE Second or subsequent shear up to 12 months growth SOFT COTTS Slightly matted fibre NO1 Good uniformity of style, length, COTTS Matted fibres colour with a sound staple GREY Grey fibre content more than NO2 Average uniformity of style, length and expected within the fleece possibly some slight discolouration Kempy fibre content more than and/or staple weakness KEMPY expected within the fleece

If you wish to see your wool being graded please contact your local depot before you deliver your wool.

WOOL AUCTIONS MAXIMISE PRICE British Wool sells the graded wool by auction every two to three weeks providing industrial users with a consistent product and steady supply over the course of the year. A typical auction lot will weigh just over 8 tonnes, contains approximately 4,000 fleeces and may contain wool from more than 100 producers. All auction lots are core sampled and the wool is independently tested for micron, colour, vegetable matter and dry yield. Testing is to international standards and provides data to buyers on the processing and performance characteristics of the wool. This in turn gives the buyers confidence in making informed decisions about the type and quality of British wool. The Agency Buyer service launched in 2018 continues to provide an important service to new buyers accessing wool through the British Wool auctions. This service alongside our consumer marketing and product development initiatives will help support British Wool and prices into the medium and long-term.

19 Contents SELF-BILLING PROCESS British Wool pays producers who are eligible for VAT under a self-billing process whereby British Wool generates the Payment Advice rather than the producer invoicing British Wool. To operate in this way British Wool is required by HMRC to have a Self-Billing Agreement in place with all VAT registered producers, and producers registered under the Agricultural Flat Rate Scheme. VAT payments to producers are liable to be delayed if we do not have a Self-Billing Agreement in place. TRADING NAME ON ACCOUNTS Given that British Wool generates the Payment Advices for producers we are under an obligation to verify the VAT details that a producer provides when they register with British Wool. Under HMRC regulations the trading name for each VAT registered producer should be the same as the name on their VAT registration. KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION UP TO DATE In order for British Wool to pay you accurately and quickly for your wool, please notify us of any changes to your details. The Producer Services team can be contacted on 01274 688666 or by email at: [email protected] COMPLAINTS Should you have any complaints regarding the service provided by British Wool we would ask that in the first instance you contact your local depot manager. If your local depot is unable to resolve the issue to your satisfaction please contact Producer Services on 01274 688666 or your regional representative.
