The wool sales are still taken very seriously where my brother works. Not huge amounts but quality wool all the same.

Mine is.There's nothing left to lose, the wool isn't even worth rolling up.
WhyView attachment 965723its not taken very seriously where i work!
Why bother producing it ? You know it’s crap you know it’s worth bugger all , just moaning that no one wants it won’t get you very far . Do something about it .There's nothing left to lose, the wool isn't even worth rolling up.
Now that is simply sad. Can you not put a bit more effort in to find a market for even something as simple as house insulation? Felt making, hat making. Looks like you have the all the gear and.... I won't finish the restView attachment 965723its not taken very seriously where i work!

Start this at 0.44.............The damned sheep keep growing it, I cut it off but it just grows back again....
It can be improved or their are shedders, the main competitor ie the kiwi improves his wool, maybe what U.K. sheep farmer shouldThe damned sheep keep growing it, I cut it off but it just grows back again....
Although you are correct that DB price is lower than the WB auction price. You need to deduct the handling cost from the WB auction price to get to the producer payment price, the DB price to the farmer is before their handling cost so the return to the producer is significantly more selling direct.DB wools price is lower than 2020 auction price. No one knows 2021 until April 2022,
How do you stop them producing it, i havnt found out yet!Why

No but I don’t spend my time moaning about how it worth nothing either I do something about things .Have you ever gone in the ring with a pen of fat lambs and not been sellin so well so youve said....'but theyve got lovely long wool'

I’ve told you before and will only repeat this one more timeWrong again. This is the bit that you still don't get.
BW paid out for 2020 clip, the prices being quoted by DB wools is what they are hoping to pay for 2021 wool, which will be less than the BW auction price. The "other" buyers paid little or nothing for 2020 wool.
BW will not know how much people will get until they sell it and that won't be until April 2022.
BW do not buy wool they sell it and return the value less the handling costs.
Standard who are underwriting the payments obviously think the price of wool is about to rise significantly by paying this amount now. You have to remember they will still have to grade and sort this wool so have significant costs to get it to the same guaranteed quality they can buy from the auction.
Improving fleece , shedders wouldn’t work up here .And which direction are you heading in? improving the fleeces or shedders?
