U.S. Accredited AWEX-ID Appraisers
March 31, 2005
March/April 2005 -- To better describe U.S. wools to both the domestic and international wool community, the American Wool Council has conducted Australian Wool Exchange Industry Description (AWEX-ID) training sessions with Australian Wool Exchange staff in the United States.
The AWEX-ID description and objective measurement of wool allows for more market transparency and more accurate information in market reporting. Growers, warehouses, wool pools and buyers all benefit by having a more accurate description of the wool.
Below is the list of U.S. Accredited Appraisers who are working with the American Wool Council to help adopt the internationally recognized description system.
For more information on AWEX-ID, contact the American Sheep Industry Association at 303-771-3500 or visit www.sheepusa.org.
