Reference information:
Uruguayan Wool Secretariat - Wools of Uruguay
www.wool.com.uy/uws.htm
The importance of the wool industry led wool-growers to create in 1968 the Uruguayan Wool Secretariat (SUL) with the objectives of supporting and promoting ...



http://www.wool.com.uy/shearing.htm
SUL (Secretariado Uruguayo de la Lana) has been involved in long term programs to improve shearing methods and clip preparation standards in the shed with the support of the local wool industry

When wool is shorn from the sheep, fleeces are classed and skirted in the shearing sheds, removing bellies and stained pieces.
The categories of wool obtained are: A Fleeces (bulk of the wool lot, of the best quality); B Fleeces (with some minor quality problems such as poor colour, shorter staples, etc); I Fleeces (inferior class, with major defects); L fleeces (fleeces of animals with pigmented skin spots).
Oddments obtained are: Pieces (skirted edges from the fleece); Bellies (wool from the belly region of the sheep); Crutchings (wool from the tail section of the sheep, containing urine or dung stain) and Locks (short wools, second cuts, etc). In each flock, hoggets and adult sheep (breeding ewes and wethers) are shorn separately.


A premium of 7 cents/kg is paid for wool with the ***SUL green label** certifying the standard of clip preparation. About 80 accredited shearing contractors -trained and supervised by SUL- are responsible of this “green label” clip quality control at the shearing shed. These contractors –shearers and wool handlers- take responsibility for higher clip preparation standards and pressing the wool in 200 kg non-contaminant bales. A ** lightblue label** also exists, getting a 2 cents/kg premium; in this case, the clip quality control is provided by the woolgrower owner of each lot. In last seasons, price premiums for green-labelled lots were higher (for finer wools in particular) in the spot market.
