Wool Grader
Employer

Buhl, ID 83316
United States
Job description
Workers will examine and sort fleece according to quality. Will estimate the weight of the fleece
after processing. Separate locks of fleece and examine fibers for length, elasticity and color to
determine quality. Examine fleece to determine presence of manure, straw, stains and
moisture. Place fleece in containers and mark wool grade on containers according to
government standards and quality. Will also set up grading tables and fleece containers prior
to shearing and pack up grading tables and fleece containers upon completion of shearing so
everything is ready to move to the next job site. Fleeces must be continually moving away from
shearers so they can be kept separate, as they must be graded and examined individually. It is
important that the wool graders and the sheep shearers work in cooperation with each other
for the proper handling of the wool.
