They can’t put a price up for this year’s wool as they’re not buying it, they will be auctioning it for us over the next 12 months.
Does your local mart tell you in January what they’ll be paying you for the lambs sold over the next 12 months?
Can't believe you've started another thread for this waste product

I know all that.....but last year they said next years payments would be a bit better so surely somebody should know if they are.
Was just wondering if they are in line with DB or better or worse .
Am guessing they are very similar, the main way i gain is by saving haulage with having a depot on my doorstep .
Sounds a bit better, I'll have to get mine away

Kinda wish I took a photo of my 36 on one load
That a load more than I thought, would there be a load of bfl in there?

Yes 1 bag bfl.
It is good to sell.
Swale not worth much still but mule not too bad.
I think they are paying me 43p for last years wool, mix of mule, Suffolk cross and Welsh. Hope I will be near £1 next year then.

Just as i thought, very similar. Db 45p but i suppose ive sold mine and forfeited the chance that next year might be better!
Did you mean to say 1750kg then?

No, most of the money was for my 1 bag bfl but mule was also worth a little bit, mule about £1 per fleece

Let year’s wool got me 39p/kg from BWMB, paid last week. That’s pretty much the same as the rest were paying I think. My expectation is that this year will be double or better, based on the market reports - well ahead of the Irish, if you can handle the cash flow

That’s good, and a reflection of what the Irish are expecting to be forced to pay at auction. Let’s all hope so.

I wouldnt say its good but its better than we have been doing last few years, but as i said above i think its mainly just saving on the haulage .That’s good, and a reflection of what the Irish are expecting to be forced to pay at auction. Let’s all hope so.
