Wool Sales Catalogue 04/25
published 11 Sep 2025

After a week’s recess in wool auctions, the 4th sale of the 2025/26 wool season took place today, with a smaller offering of 5 841 bales.

The bulk of the offering consisted of longer length, fine micron wools, with sustainably certified wools comprising 72,5% of the merino wools on offer.

The market continued its positive trend from the past few weeks and delivered strong results today.

Improved market sentiment and consistently strong results from the Australian market drove prices upwards, despite a stronger SA currency.

The good quality merino fleece wools attracted strong competition, but the mixed length and over-strong wools dragged the sales clearance down to 92,1%.

The all-merino indicator increased by 5,4% to close on R189,17 p/kg, with the certified indicator gaining 6,0% to close on R195,34 p/kg.

A highest price of R232,64 p/kg (clean) was paid for a 7-bale lot of 17,2 micron merino wool.

The Australian market had another solid performance this week and gained 2,2% (AU$) from their previous sale held on Wednesday, 3 September.

The major buyers on today’s sale were BKB Pinnacle Fibres (1 321), Tianyu SA (1 165) and Stucken & Co (738) and Standard Wool (720).

The next sale will be held on 17 September 2025 when approximately 5 745 bales will be on offer.
