You can’t expect to pay an agent good money to return nothing back to his employerIs it , is it not the folk selling wool direct so the buyers don’t need bid at auction that’s assisting the demise of the auction ?

I get enough back to cover shearing and associated costs on a normal year so I don’t pay an agent for no return .You can’t expect to pay an agent good money to return nothing back to his employer
Well you are still getting robbed either way if it going where I think it isI get enough back to cover shearing and associated costs on a normal year so I don’t pay an agent for no return .
Maybe but I will be sorer robbed when bw is gone for sure .Well you are still getting robbed either way if it going where I think it is
Dont have to send to paddy...there are other firms in england, bradford even, that pay a fair price for wool.They send back what it makes at auction minus costs , every kilo paddy gets privately is a kilo he need not bid on , do you see how auction leads the field with sheep well wools the same.
I’m generalising paddy db who ever , all under mines the auction system, i reckon this time next year be some red faces didn’t go to auction .Dont have to send to paddy...there are other firms in england, bradford even, that pay a fair price for wool.
They bid a price there and then and if you like it you take it and are paid straight away, not the system where we pay the farmer if theres anything left,
A lot of people prefer to do business this way.
Same with DB....they arent saying the job is ruined by covid and there is no market for it, they are wanting as much as they can get, what is going on?I spoke to one of the paddys and mines going that way. He doesn’t understand why the wb is robbing us.
Bidding is 3x the wool board price too more in some cases like the bfl wool nearer £10 a kilo moreSame with DB....they arent saying the job is ruined by covid and there is no market for it, they are wanting as much as they can get, what is going on?
The fella thats moved my wool rang DB to see if they could take his wool last year.....its gone from there and he's ended up clearing most of cumbria this time, were queuing out onto the road this morning, all the folk that were burning it are sending it, the demand is huge.Bidding is 3x the wool board price too more in some cases like the bfl wool nearer £10 a kilo more
And certain store lamb sellers Range Rovers…And when members on here slate anyone that dare sell lambs to an abattoir, yet shun the auction system for wool?
And when they complain that the head man at BW earns a decent salary, but will walk past a line of auctioneer's Range Rovers in the mart car park....
Theyve had it their own way far too long, this is what happens when the job gets into too few hands, if theyd made sure the farmer got a fair deal they would have been able to keep going.Is there any other commodity that is traded like the BW model of discouraging private buying and all supply going through an auction system. Potato board, egg board and milk board have all gone

The fact the MMB is still talked about and brought up shows it was a bad thing it went for a lot.Is there any other commodity that is traded like the BW model of discouraging private buying and all supply going through an auction system. Potato board, egg board and milk board have all gone
