A small group of ASX shares have ex-dividend dates this month.

In order to receive a dividend, you must own the ASX share before its ex-dividend date.

So, if you're looking for some extra income before the end of the financial year (EOFY), these ASX shares provide options.

Ex-dividend dates also provide another opportunity.

Share prices usually fall on ex-dividend dates, so you may be able to pick up a stock you've been watching for a lower price.

Among the shares going ex-dividend this month are ASX agriculture stock Select Harvests Ltd (ASX: SHV).

The almond producer will trade ex-dividend on 17 June and pay investors 3.5 cents per share on 15 July.

Bell Potter has a buy rating on Select Harvests shares with a 12-month price target of $5.30, compared with $3.86 currently.
