I would say 1/3 throw away. Probably should have pitched a few more questionable ones. A few years back we had a year with 1 good one to 11 bad, so this isn't so bad.

I've been trapping even after the shoulders are rubbed, but about 8 of the 29 had mange or lice. I only got 15 pelts out of the 29. So 25% had skin issues

Rubbed hair the guard hairs is missing and the under fur looks like it's shedding or very short.
Mange looks like wounds on the body which causes patches of hair to be missing.
Lice usually is on the back right behind the neck and looks like the hair is falling out. Or in my case it has been.
I've seen someone on here cut the lice spot out and sew it back up and sell it as is. Looked pretty good.

No mange this year on either yotes or fox. 35% had white lice.. The typical rub over the shoulders. Shame
Common sense catches alot of fur.. Pay homage to all you harvest..

I had to throw away 40% of my yotes for one reason or another

Possumcatcher if I understand you correctly, it sounds like you have made sweet lemonade from some bitter lemons. Yes I sure have. There is an old buyer around here that we take the mangy ones to. I keep my good yotes and finish them. But the bad ones go right to him and me and a friend get traps for them.
