Everyone wants beef to eat and Alpaca wool to wear anyway.

@MethDozer Australia produces 25% all the worlds Wool.
Will be an upward bump in the Markets thanks to wool.

@Gusman I personally love wool, but most people don't even wear it anymore. At least in the developed world. It's kinda sad.

@MethDozer I'm guilty of that.
I think this winter I might buy a couple of Aussie Woolen Jumpers to help the farmers.

@Gusman its good stuff. Breaths, doesn't hold water, sustainable, doesn't pollute or rely on petroleum.
