Benefits of IAGARB
Meetings:
The best part of any organization is meeting other people with
similar interests. We hold an annual meeting, regional meetings
and shearing parties.
Shearing Parties:
Shearing Parties are a great opportunity to Clip and Visit. Members
are invited to meet, usually at someone’s home. At the party,
owners shear their rabbits. The date of the shearing is witnessed
and certified by other members.
Registration Meetings:
Three months after the party, the local group meets again to
witness the official judging and shearing test of each rabbit
under consideration. To be registered, the rabbit must be judged
against our standard and pass a wool performance test of at least
325 grams. IAGARB registration is based on individual merit.
IAGARB organizes commercial milling of our wool into yarn:
IAGARB believes there is power in numbers. We pool our high quality
German wool into large commercial yarn runs.
Many of us are backyard producers who would have to wait a very
long time to have enough wool to send to a mill for processing.
If we work together, we can combine production and have our fiber
spun more frequently and at a lower cost than any of us would
be able to do individually.
When we cooperate, we control a system where the mill works for
us and we are able to set our prices directly to the retail customer.
That is Fair Trade for domestic producers.
