CAPE REPORT
At today’s cape mohair sale, the market opened fully firm compared to previous auction levels.
It closed with all types firm to 1-2% dearer, when considering that many lots were not the best style and yield the market would have to be considered more expensive still for all qualities.
Next auction will be held on 19th November with a larger and more attractive offering available.

We quote today’s sale as follows:
Kid types firm unchanged
Young Goats 1% easier
Adults firm unchanged
