NEW ADDRESS AND NEW PRICES AS OF JANUARY 1, 2006
Have your animals’ fiber tested with state-of-the-art equipment. The
OFDA2000 is the world’s
first portable computerized fiber measurement instrument. It is the most
advanced fiber testing system available, offering you comprehensive information
for every animal in your herd.
INSTRUCTIONS
Send a one inch square sample of your animal’s fiber, taken from the
mid-side (blanket), kept in
the same configuration as when cut. Cut as close to the skin as you can. Place
the sample in a
baggie and identify it with your farm’s name and address, the name or number of
the animal, date
of birth and the date the sample was taken (often your last shearing).
PRICES
10 samples and fewer: $7.00 each
11-50 $6.50 each
51-100 $6.00 each
101-299 $5.50 each

WHAT YOU GET
A histogram giving you the mean fiber diameter (microns) for the
entire sample length, as
well as such important data as Comfort Factor, Standard Deviation and more.
A graph that tells you the day-to-day history of the animal through
the length of the sample.
It tells you if the animal is over-fed, if it has medical problems, if it has
been stressed.
