Up on last season
There will not be too many woof sales around the country so far this season where the average price is actually better than it was at the same time last season, but it happened at Tiinaru last month, according to the report issued by the South Canterbury Woolbrokers’ and Stock and Station Agents’ Association.

At the recent Christchurch sale Merino values were running some 60c to 70c per kg ahead of rates a year previously.
