After the 2nd sale of the season took place yesterday, 26 August, the third sale of the season was held today with an offering of 6 577 bales.

The offering mainly consisted of fine micron wools, with 66% testing 20 micron and finer and 69,8% of the merino wools on offer being certified as sustainable.

The wool market continued on it's upward trend from the opening sale of the season and once again delivered good results across all micron categories. Stronger competition for the good quality individual clips on offer resulted in an overall sales clearance of 95%.

The all-merino indicator closed up by 1% on R179,53 p/kg and the certified indicator increased by 1,4% to close on R184,35 p/kg.

A highest price of R246,36 p/kg(clean) was paid for a 2-bale lot of 16,4-micron merino wool.

The Australian market once again delivered good results today and increased by 0,56%(AUS$) from the previous auction held yesterday, 26 August.     .

The next sale will be held on 10 September 2025 when approximately 5 165 bales will be on offer.
