Classing Mohair Correctly Adds Value

Farmers lose money if their mohair clip isn’t properly classed, and this is why the farmers must be present during shearing season.

The industry faces a huge challenge with a shortage of properly skilled mohair sorters!

Currently, Mohair South Africa and the Mohair Empowerment Trust are receiving many training requests from brokers and individual farmers for simple things like ‘out sorts’ (e.g., stains, lox, and seeds).

We have started addressing the skills shortage challenge and emphasising the mohair classing standards/ guidelines.
