Mohair Market Report – 2 March 2021

COMMENTS

What a way to kick off the 2021 mohair summer selling season!! A day of records. Two world record prices, the first time in a very long time that 6 buying houses are competing and for the very first time two women buyers are entering the domain of men in the mohair saleroom!! The first record was for the average market indicator. It jumped with 20% to stabilize at an average of R333.32/kg, the highest level in Rand terms ever recorded!! The clearance was 100%. The second world record price was achieved for a bale of young goat hair, offered as winter kids. Gert Smith from Willowmore excelled when his best bale of young goats was sold at R640.00/kg, a new world record price! This excellent bale tested 24.3 micron with a clean yield of 88%. It was an RMS certified lot. The demand for RMS mohair is staggering and there is clearly a big shortage. The next sale will have good quality mohair and will be far bigger. This sale will be offered in Port Elizabeth on the 2nd of March 2021.

Wat ‘n dag en wat ‘n manier hoe om die eerste sybokhaarveiling van die somer 2021 verkoopsseisoen mee af te skop!! ‘n Dag van rekords. Vir die eerstekeer in ‘n baie lang tyd kompeteer daar weer 6 kopershuise teen mekaar en om dinge nog beter te maak, ook vir die eerste keer 2 vroue kopers in die sybokhaarverkoopslokaal. Die eerste wȇreldrekord gaan vir die gemiddelde markaanwyser wat met 20% spring en wat vir die eerstekeer in die geskiedenis te staan kom op R333.32/kg! In Randterme die hoogste ooit, met ‘n verkoopspersentasie van 100%. Die tweede rekord het gegaan aan Gert Smith van Willowmore toe sy beste baal jongbokhaar verkoop het teen R640.00/kg! Hierdie 24.3 mikron baal met ‘n skoonopbrengs van 88% was aangebied as ‘n winter kleinbokkie en was ook gesertifseerd as RMS. Die aanvraag vir RMS sybokhaar is oorweldigend en daar is verseker ‘n tekort aan die tipe. Die volgende veiling het goeie kwaliteit haar in sy aanbieding en is ook heelwat groter. Die veiling word in Port Elizabeth aangebied op 2 Maart 2021.
