2020 Wool Value

[Bob]

About 20p kilo

Is that for mules? Do they supply sheets

 

[Bob]

Only for the good stuff apparently, they don't want any of the coarser stuff at all.

I think I would still take it to BWMB as you have a better chance of getting more if the price does go up. Wool has been known to alter in price by more than 50% in a year!!

50% more than nothing is still nothing

Yes white mule and texel wool and 5p kilo for coloured wool and swale only thing that is higher in price is lester wool

Yes they supply sheets

Are many folk keeping wool hoping for a price rise? Ive mine done and texacloth will take it, sort and pack it etc. Although they wont pay for it just now but hope to pay same as last year (65p iirc) before the winter....

Sit on it, they will want it when the factories open.

I'm gonna keep it for now but i doubt my 8 sheets of oddments will collapse the world wool market, although it'll be 16 sheets next so you never know!

We will undoubtedly store it if there’s no money coming back in for the foreseeable future, I can see a lot more around here doing the same to, I can’t help but think it’ll just flood the market again in 2021 though.

Very concerning times for the entire sheep sector at the moment, you’ve just got to hope the lamb market holds as supply picks up going into summer. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Got this today from merchant I use

Well, just have a think about that before you pee it away.

The Wool Board are talking they fear wool will be down by upto 50%... This lot are talking the job down considerably!

These pricks would need to sharpen their pencil, because if I halve my last year's wool cheque... Its substantially more than their 20p. And what's the bet youl have very few kgs of 'better' grades...

Robbing c-nts.

50p last year, i have to say I don’t particularly roll the fleeces as I’m on my own I kind of fold them and chuck em in and they never complain. There std grade is texel cross they deal with a lot of people around me with similar flock types.

i plan on keeping it, was bad enough last year

What did you get of bwmb last year per kilo?

The way BWMB works, it's the year previous...

So the cheque last year (for 2018 wool) averaged out at £1.21/kg.



Lleyn and TexX ewes averaging around 2kg wool per ewe

Just paint it on

I would keep back maybe 1/3 of the sheets this year but sadly I've just nowhere to store it.

I mind 2003 wool cheque didn't pay for the shearers 2004 (when we still had Mules and Blackies). That's when I started doing it myself. If my wool is worth half this time, it would still pay for a shearer
