Moses & Son offer a range of wool marketing services and other services and products to help you maximise the return you get from your sheep enterprise.
Moses & Son offer the following wool marketing methods:
Sale at auction:
Auction sales are recognised as the undisputed price setting mechanism for wool trading throughout the world, since their inception in Australia in 1843. Over 90% of wool sold in Australia is sold through the Auction system. Moses & Son have the most modern and efficient selling facilities both in Sydney & in Melbourne. Currently, no other selling system provides a grower this much market exposure. Moses & Son participate in every selling week in the wool sale program, enabling your wool to get to the market as fast as possible.
Electronic Selling:
Moses & Son are registered to offer wool on the electronic wool selling system, Wooltrade. This selling mechanism allows the grower to set the reserve and gives the buyers access to a catalogue 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Listing is quick and simple, and the management of wooltrade will be proactive in marketing your clip to buyers.
Private Sales:
Moses & Son can sell directly to exporters for private sales. We have existing relationships with the countries biggest export companies and have found this option beneficial to some clients.
Price Risk Management:
Moses & Son offer a simple and easy to use option for managing the price risk associated with selling your wool clip. The Forward Delivery Indicator Contract (FDIC) does not require any outlay or margin calls, and can be completed within one day of a request if required. Many of our clients find it useful to protect their income from a sharp fall in prices by locking in part of their clip when they are satisfied with the price.
