AWN Wool Store Visit । Typing and Pricing Merino Wool

Welcome, and thanks for watching our video tour of AWN’s wool store visit in Melbourne where we learn about the factors wool buyers consider when selecting and pricing merino wool at auction. In this video, Mark Ferguson from neXtgen Agri and Matt Cox from AWN cover: The factors that determine the price of merino fleece wool. The faults that will lead to a discount. Tips on preparing and classing merino fleece wool to get the best price at auction. What are the factors that ensure your line of wool gets the best price? And what faults will lead to a discount in the auction room? We've covered a range of topics related to typing and pricing merino wool, and in this video, there's a special emphasis on the AWN wool store visit. ****************************************** Today, Matt Cox from AWN talks to us about what determines the price of merino fleece wool, from wool length, strength (including the importance of SS25%), yield, micron, coefficient of variation (CV) and comfort factor, to style, colour, dust penetration, vegetable matter (VM) and other contaminants. Matt explains how buyers take into account the measured specifications (length, strength, yield etc), as well as the overall type and style, making decisions about price depending on the end product the wool is suitable for and how it will perform during processing. Taking a look at a wide range of the wool samples on offer, Matt and Mark highlight the huge variation that is possible within both the MF4 and MF5 categories. What appear to be very different wool types can be found together in either one of these broad classifications, as it largely comes down to how the wool is likely to perform during processing. Matt gives examples of what might cause buyers to discount the wool, including unscourable colour, VM (burr, seed, hard head), brand, unskirted matter, tender tips, and inconsistency in the fibres. Each of these factors affects how the wool is processed, as well as the quality of the end product, and will attract a discount. A moment of inattention in the shed can see a whole line downgraded if that rogue piece of unskirted fleece or unscourable colour finds its way into the sample selected for display at the wool store. In Matt’s words: “We’ve got to type it as we see it. Whatever’s in the box is supposed to be a fair representation of what’s in the bales.” This is a highly informative behind-the-scenes look at the lines of merino wool up for offer in Melbourne in a given week. If you are a fine-wool producer, don’t miss this chance to take a look at a whole range of wool and the factors that decide its price! ****************************************** Have we covered what you wanted to know about typing and pricing merino fleece wool?
