Crossbred Fleeces Pay Best
From the return-pcr-fioece point of view the best values at the opening Napier wool sale of the 1943-49 season were not those which fetched the big prices in the region of 50d to 55d. They were the crossbred llecces priced by the buyers at from 36d to 40d. It takes a lot more sheep with a half-bred licece clipping perhaps 51b. of wool to fill a bale than it does sheep with a crossbred licece clipping 81b. to 91b. That is a point sometimes disregarded when wool prices are being discussed.
