CMW (Cape Mohair and Wool) OVK se veselafdeling, CMW, is die grootste hanteerder van sybokhaar in die wêreld en die tweede grootste wolmakelaar in Suid-Afrika. Cape Merino asook Premium Pure Cape (PPC) is CMW se gehalte handelsmerke waarmee gepoog word, nie net om premie-pryse vir produsente te verdien nie, maar om die aanbod van gehalte-wol aan te moedig. Hierdie handelsmerke dien as waarborg dat wol en sybokhaar geproduseer word in ’n spesifieke omgewing – en onder diervriendelike toestande. CMW se hanterings-fasiliteite van wêreld-gehalte in Port Elizabeth spog met nuut geïnstalleerde masjinerie. Dit sluit in die nuwe aflaai-fasiliteit vir vragmotors en die nuwe Hoë Digtheidspers vir verskeping. Die wol en sybokhaar hanterings-fasiliteite beslaan ’n vloer-oppervlakte van meer as 8 hektaar. Die werwing van wol en sybokhaar word gerugsteun deur landswye,

professionele Tegniese Velddienste wat ’n enorme bydrae lewer tot die genetiese verbetering van wolskape en angorabokke, asook die kommersiële prestasie van wol, sybokhaar en vleis-produksie. Skeerdienste ook deur hierdie afdeling gekoördineer, deur gehalte skeerders (handspanne of masjienspanne) vir skape en sybokke beskikbaar te stel. Tans het CMW tussen 800 – 1000 skeerders in diens wat rondom 3,4 miljoen KVE per jaar skeer. ’n Opleidings program vir aspirant skeerders word ook bygehou. Uniek aan die CMW skeerdiens is die implementering van die “karretjie spanne” waar slegs 2 skeerders per karretjie opereer. Dit maak die skeerders makliker hanteerbaar en meer koste-effektief vir skeervloere van kleiner as 600 KVE. Die klientefinansieringsafdeling van CMW in Port Elizabeth kan aan goedgekeurde produsente ’n voorskot teen vesel-lewerings toestaan.

CMW (Cape Mohair and Wool) CMW, the Wool, Mohair and Livestock brokering division of OVK, the largest mohair broker in the world and the second largest wool broker in South Africa. With our sought after Cape Merino and Premium Pure Cape (PPC) quality trade-marks we seek, not only to earn price premiums for our producers, but to encourage the production of quality wool. These trademarks vouch for the quality against which wool and mohair have been produced in a specific environment - and under humane animal handling conditions. With its newly-installed machinery the handling facilities of CMW in Port Elizabeth are world-class. These include the off-load facilities for trucks, and High Density Press, prior to shipping. The CMW facilities in Port Elizabeth cover over 8 hectares. The business of CMW centres around the marketing of wool and mohair on the National Wool and Mohair Exchange in Port Elizabeth, of which some 90% is destined for overseas plants. In South Africa CMW counts for one of only two brokers which have the facilities to export both wool and mohair for local buyers. The procurement of wool and mohair is backed by a nationally positioned, professional Technical Field-service team which makes an enormous contribution towards the improvement of the genetics of wool-sheep and angora goats, as well as the commercial achievements www.ovk.co.za

of wool-, mohair- and meat-production. This department also co-ordinates our shearing-service by making quality shearers (both hand-shearing and machine teams) available to producers. CMW currently employs between 800 – 1 000 shearers who shear some 3,4million SSU (Small Stock Unit) per annum. A training programme for novice shearers ensures the continuity of skills. A unique feature of the CMW shearingservice has been the implementation of the two-man ‘karretjie’ teams. These teams make shearing for clips below 600 SSU easier to operate and more costeffective.

WOL & BOKHAAR / WOOL & MOHAIR OVK se veselafdeling, CMW, behartig die bemarking van wol en sybokhaar, op die Wol-en-Sybokhaarbeurs. Plaaslike vesel-makelaars, sowel as wol- en sybokhaar kopers word op die beurs verteenwoordig, wat hier meeding om vesel te bekom vir internasionale kliënte. CMW is tans beide plaaslik en internasionaal die grootste sybokhaarmakelaar. Wol en sybokhaar word vooraf voorberei en getoets om te voldoen aan gehalte-indikatore soos mikron en skoonopbrengs alvorens dit op die veiling aangebied word. Die objektiewe meting word deur die Woltoetsburo gedoen. Danksy hersortering kan die waardetoevoeging tot soveel as 30% bedra. Veselvolumes wat nie aan die toegelate minimum volume voldoen om op veiling verkoop te word nie, word in die saamverpakkings afdeling geprosesseer, waarná ’n markverwante prys deur CMW aan die produsent aangebied word. Wol word ingevolge die internasionale AWEX (Australian Wool Exchange)-stelsel getipeer om te verseker dat vergelykbare en markverwante pryse behaal word. Die tekort aan arbeid op plase met skeertyd is ’n groter-wordende probleem en bemoeilik die uitsoek van wol- en sybokhaarstukkies. Hierdie probleem het aanleiding gegee tot die ontstaan van CMW se wol- en sybokhaar hersortering-afdelings binne die CMW pakhuis in Port Elizabeth waar die sortering van stukkies geskied. 11

CMW acts as broker for the small-stock farmer in the marketing of raw wool and mohair, which is traded on the Wool and Mohair Exchange. Local brokers, as well as wool and mohair buyers, are all represented on the Exchange where they compete to acquire raw wool and mohair for international clients and processors. Currently CMW is the largest mohair broker globally and locally attains a mohair share of approximately 80%. As wool-broker CMW is the second largest - and still gaining market-share. Wool and mohair are prepared and tested by the Wool Testing Bureau and comply to international standards regarding testing and marketing. Relevant price indicators such as clean-yield, fibre diameter, tensile strength and other characteristics are attained for catalogue preparations before being auctioned. The shortage of farm-labour during shearing is a growing problem which hampers the on-farm sorting of wool and mohair. Thus that CMW have implemented a sorting division to minimise the problem and increase sorting quality by sorting wool in-house at their warehouse in Port Elizabeth. The value adding, as a result of the re-sorting service, could amount to as much as 30%. Fibre volumes which do not comply with the minimum requirements are processed in the binning department, after which CMW offer the producer a market-related price. Wool is appraised according to the international AWEXID (Australian Wool Exchange) typing system, to ensure that comparable and market-related prices are paid. www.ovk.co.za

In this way OVK became the first agricultural company to develop an irrigation schedule which is able to supply clients with moisture data directly

by means of a modem. A scanner is also used to determine soil-physical and soilchemical factors, as well as the variable application of fertiliser in precision farming. Services are available for the complete farming cycle - from the cultivation stage right through to the harvesting activities. To add value is the main purpose of this department.
