Sale Lots Eligible for the DMFR Scheme

The sale lots eligible for the DMFR scheme were identified by FAWO's working group, after taking technical advice and after consultations with sheep and wool producers.

While merino sheep are the predominant breed within Australia, other breeds are also present, but any wool produced is not destined for end uses where dark and medullated fibre contamination will be a problem.
