NEW ZEALAND MARKET REPORT – The Schneider Group

Summary

Market dearer again.

Comment

Combined North and South Island selling this week with an offering of 11,570 bales.

Selection consisted of 31% crossbred fleece, 35% crossbred second shear, good to average colour, 9% crossbred lambs, good to average colour, 16% associated oddments, 7% halfbreds and 2% miscellaneous types.

Compared to last week’s online sales, on a large selection of crossbred wool, there was once again very strong bidding from the exporters. All styles were keenly sought after helped by the weaker New Zealand dollar. Main buyers were China and India with support from the Australasian mills.
