Edwards confirmed this positive increase with mention of better quality wools coming out after the rough November-December season.
Mackay queried if this market increase is a typical end of season phenomenon, but Edwards did not see it this way as there was still a lot of wool entering the market, despite being at the end of April and heading into the pre-lambing season.
Edwards also highlighted that pre-lambing season is coming earlier on in the year and despite historic seasonal shearing patterns, the trend of an endless shearing season was set to continue as a year-round job.
