The editorial discusses Sir Graham Wad dell's push to raise average bale weight from 310 to 380 pounds to boost grower savings, citing a potential £65,000 gain but warning of degraded wool appearance and buyer hesitancy.

The piece references Western and cold country wools and impacts on show floor consignments and market prices.

High Class Durhams Weebollabolla Herd History
The Weebollabolla Durham herd in Moree district traces 70 years of Shorthorn breeding from Darbrook near Aberdeen.
