Careful attention helps couple top hogget wool sale
Long-term PGG Wrightson Wool suppliers Brian and Barbara Tiffen of Stoneleigh near Fairlie have made major improvements in recent seasons through their affiliation to the company, whose wool reps assist to add value without adding cost to their business.
Ange Armstrong, PGG Wrightson Wool rep for South Canterbury has helped Brian buy Perendale rams for the last four years, selecting on wool types, while senior rep Peter McCusker has assisted selecting the couple’s two tooth ewes to further refine their replacements for wool type.
Brian, Barbara, Ange and Peter are proud of what they have achieved, reflected in their wool auction returns: their hogget wool topped the C31 Christchurch wool sale in January.
