Wool Pool Template
Wool Pool Template This Quattro Pro 6.0 for Windows spreadsheet allows each wool producer to be listed on a separate page of the Quattro Pro notebook. Each county pool will use its own notebook. The invoice is customized by each county for individual deductions and assessments. The intended protocol includes entering data on site and then writing checks after the pool. The producer will be given a weight sheet and price information at the pool. The only error risk comes from entering an incorrect weight. The safeguard is the shepherd's weight sheet and the master weight sheet recorded during the truck loading.
