Good wools hit high note

Well-prestented wool sold strongly in a rising Napier auction on Thursday.

Most wool types, including hogget fleece, attracted good interest, PGG Wrightson North Island auctioneer Steve Fussell said. 

One very good Hawke’s Bay hogget line broke well over $4/kg greasy.

Following the trend of a week earlier there was very little interest in wools with raddle markings.

Good style 35 microns fleece sold about 5% cheaper than at the previous sale but other full fleece and most second-shear wools were firmer. The good style 37 microns and stronger fleece was up to 5% dearer. For second-shear wools, some good styles were 6% to 7% stronger in price. Second-shear bellies and pieces, 2-to-4 inches, were up to 6% cheaper. The pass-in rate was about 6%.

Sales, all by micron, price/kg clean, full wool, good-to-average colour: 32, $4.54/kg; 33, $3.47; 34, $3.06, down 2c; 35, $2.99; 36, $3.17, up 37c; 37, $2.92, up 10c. Crossbred second shear: 33, 2-3 inches, $2.81/kg, up 13c; 35, 3-4 inches, $2.88, up 3c; 2-3 inches, $2.58, steady; 37, 3-4 inches, $2.90, down 1c; 2-3 inches, $2.70, up 11c; 39, 3-5 inches, $2.87; 3-4 inches, $2.90, up 15c; 2-3 inches, $2.70.
