Wool prices were mixed, but strengthened overall at this week's combined North and South Island sales, despite a significantly higher New Zealand dollar.
Wool Services International general manager John Dawson says there was good demand for well prepared crossbred fleece and second shear; and that pushed the strong wool indicator up nine cents to $6.11 a kilo.
The fine wool indicator also rose nine cents to $6.45 a kilo and the mid micron indicator was $9.36.
Just over three quarters of the 16,700 bales auctioned were sold.
