2009 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Fleece Competition A special thanks sto Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Ltd. For their contribution to the prize money. Judge: Carol Coleman Trotter Judge's Comment: It was my honour and pleasure to judge the Fleece Competition at the 2009 RAWF. All of the entries were all carefully presented and worthy of merit. Some placements were difficult to make and may have been decided on only minor variations such as fleece weight or staple length. Congratulations to the owners of the Grand and Reserve Champion fleeces - these entries stood out as exceptional fibre, uniform in character from shoulder to britch, promising high yield and full value to any handspinner or processor.
