[Cob] Buying bulk wool

[Peter Kaulback]

You should check with local sheep farming groups as you want basic wool not 
wool for spinning/weaving etc. Usually some of the best bets are with local 
shearers as they are sometimes the collection points for wool from the meat 
breeds.

Check with the wool co-ops in your area. Some are here:
