2020 arrived and April brought rain, it appeared as though the drought was finally breaking, everyone was excited. The wool market was still strong, the lamb market was looking at $10/kg, and the mutton market was at an all time high.

Then Covid-19 arrived and things changed overnight. Amazingly, the lamb and mutton markets have held their place, however wool has taken a slight downturn.
I remain optimistic that it will recover after Covid-19, and feel very lucky to be in the industry I am in.
