Because the Irish have said they only want the best wool this year. So the average sale price at BWMB auctions isn't even the minimum the Irish should be paying - it should be more.

Are you sure the Irish only want the best wool?
As said above, the average price at last BWMB sale was 51p and if the costs are 40p that leaves the wool at 11p.

So the Irish are giving 40p for Swale wool are they?
I wouldn't think so, that would be like paying 29p more than the average BWMB price for all wools

The Irish don't want it. They were pretty open at the start of the season they only want good quality white wool (Texel or better) - which will be selling well above that BWMB average auction price
I'm fairly sure the Irish are taking swale wool.
Anyways, think we'd all rather have lambs a good trade and wool crap rather than the other way around

Sent mine in last week and got the payment advice today.
How anyone can think this in any way reflects the value of this year's clip, I cannot understand. We still have that delight to look forward to next year.
Total worked out at 34ppk, dragged down by the BF wool. Roughly 50p/fleece.

Amazes me the likes of the cotswolds was built on the back of wool , now it costs you to get it of their backs , funny old world!

But it’s not, prices are climbing with every auction apparently. Assuming you sell to the Board, you won’t know what it’s actually been worth until you get your payment for it next year. It’s certainly not ‘worthless’ anyway.

I took ours in and there were hundreds of tonnes of baled wool from LAST years crop stacked up yet to be sold. It will all go eventually and get back to where it was,which wasn't good enough,but it won't happen overnight. £470 instead of usually £1400 ish

I've taken 2 lots into the Newtown depot so far, and was surprised how quiet it was, with far less wool stacked there than normal.
A couple of weeks ago there was a pile of (40?) bales that had apparently just been auctioned, with a near complete clearance rate. They said that, back in the Spring, the auction would have meant only a couple of bales being sold from the lot.
