Thanks

Is there a formal complaint process?

Does anybody remember a couple months back when they said they didn't want co on? I would be asking why all of the sudden I am seeing top $17.

Tweed, I'm not aware of WTA buying furs.

I don't know, it just made me mad, if I was there maybe I could have talked him up a little or not sold it.

Has anyone sod any early beaver yet?

Fall, or early caught beaver today, are weighed and worth about $7-$8 per pound. Northern, winter caught blanket beaver with no holes and very few scars are worth $35, XL drop to $25+.

Hmmmmm. Am I reading this right?? A 20 pound beaver at $7-$8 per pound would be worth $140 to $160??

He means the dried hide.

I never weighed a dried beaver hide so I have no idea what the weight break down would be on different sizes.
And I'm betting that any flaws In the leather or fur would make a difference In the final price.

Most damage has no bearing on the value of a hatter beaver, slippers do matter.

The WTA has not to my knowledge bought fur, but the WTA and or districts of the WTA have staged WTA auctions in the past. Some of these were huge two day events with a couple hundred lots per day. When the crash came the big ones discontinued. Districts 7 and 8 held a WTA sale in Reedsville for 4-5 years and there were some issues and that was discontinued. Our district 8 held a small fur auction for 3-4 years, from say 2010-2014 or so but we could never get many buyers or a lot of fur. The most fur we ever got there was about 2,900 pelts and many buyers just could not justify the trip for a potential small return.
