Finer second shear wools struggled to find the levels of the previous sale on September 7, with poorer wools the most affected, PGG Wrightson auctioneer Steve Fussell said.
Some coarser fleece types sold well and hogget fleece was in good demand.
A notable feature was with better oddment wool being in demand, selling up to 12% dearer.
Overall, there was a 33% pass-in rate, the highest for several sales across Napier and Christchurch.
