An excellent sales clearance was achieved on today’s large offering. In contrast with the previous auction there was keen competition from all buyers. The most notable price increase was for fine young goat qualities (30-32 micron) which recovered strongly to levels higher than the closing auction of the summer season.
The kid mohair on offer was surprisingly fine which is an indication that grazing conditions are becoming less favourable or that producers are cutting back on supplement feeding for younger animals. There is normally a strong correlation between supplement feed and micron diameter. Excessive vegetable matter was noted in some clips while the length of the adult on offer was disappointing.
