The weighted indicator for the main trading currencies increased 0.16 percent compared to the last North Island sale on 12 April.
Mr Dawson advises that fine crossbred fleece and second shear remained firm.
Coarse crossbred fleece good and average styles were firm to buyers favour with poorer styles increasing slightly. Coarse crossbred shears 3-5 and 3-4 inch were firm, with 2-4 inch Shears showing strong support increasing by 5 percent.
Lambs fleece 30 micron and finer increased by 1 to 4 percent with coarser type’s 1 to 2 percent dearer.
