A2008 Market Comment

Sale held 9th May 2008

A total offering for the season of 65,091Kgs (includes auction and private sales)
As a result of improved seasonal conditions and breeding influence, mohair on average was stronger across the board than previous seasons. This is a fact that has been observed industry wide. The stronger average micron and high Australian Dollar impacted on prices, especially above 31/32 micron.
In spite of the stronger microns, finer kid types attracted very active competition. The top priced lot in the sale was a grower lot offered on behalf of Nugong Pastoral Company of Victoria (D & M Nicholls). Lot 55 (AFKID) achieved 3200c/kg. This was a very attractive, high yielding Lot of mohair exhibiting very good style and low VM content.
Pooled fine kid lines made from 2000 to 2900 c/kg. Good kid types ranged from 1415 to 1985 c/kg.
In the good YG lines, BYG averages 1029 c/kg whilst the AYG remains unsold. If this line can find a buyer at a reasonable price, it will be sold in the near future.
Fine Fine Hair types ranged from 615 to 665 c/kg whilst good fine hair made from 630 to 635 c/kg.
The season average for all types for A2008 was 903 c/kg.
