The greasy wool has been purchased and the test results are complete.

Batch 13 is a mix of:

• Geis Ewe:   19,391 pounds / 8794 kg.  Geis Yearling:  2247 / 1019.   This is our first purchase from Geis Ranch in Gillette, Wyoming.  A total of 21638 / 9813, the majority of this Batch 
• King Ranch of New Mexico (Ewes only):  7706 / 3495
• Jones Ranch in New Mexico.  Ewes:  3701 / 1678.   Yearlings:  882 / 400
• PM Ranch (Padula) in Minnesota.   Ewes:  603 / 273
• McMurry Genopalette Ranch in Missouri.  Ewes:  5000 pounds (approx) / 2268.   With luck, a few hundred pounds more.

Batch 13 will come in right around 40,000 pounds "greasy", hopefully.   Andy McMurry doesn't have scales at his ranch, so we'll get an exact weight when his clip gets to Chargeurs.

We'll make a mixture of yarns (woolen and worsted) and Fabrics (FullWeight, MidWeight, Denim, Whipcord, Heritage/LightWeight).   I have another idea, but whether I can execute in time for this Batch is doubtful.
