I noticed the they have their auction quantities posted for their big March sale. There doesn't seem to be an over abundance of fur listed. Maybe, as a whole, trappers really did back down on their catches and not flood the market. Here is the list.

Wild Mink
15,000

Muskrat
160,000

I see they have nice round numbers of each species.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I Heard A Rumor Recently That All Fur Picked Up By A Large Volume U.S. Agent Didn't Make It Across

The Canadian Border To North Bay, Ontario Due To Problems With The USFWS Export Permits Being Expired.

Allegedly, The Fur In Question Will Not Be Included On The Upcoming March 9th FHA Auction.

IF True, This Could Account For The Lower Volume Of Fur On This Upcoming Auction.

They are getting close to having it all graded. I'm interested to see how my stuff graded out in this Down year.

They only have Muskrat, Coyote and Coon left to do.

There was a snag but it was fixed in time and all the fur made it on time and will be included in the upcoming March sale.

This rumor better not be true! I shipped with my agent on time but I have not seen any fur in my receipts and normally it shows that long ago for this sale. I haven’t heard word from FHA that my fur didn’t make it. If it didn’t they sure should be letting us know.

Don't worry if it doesn't make it to this sale it will be on the next sale in North Bay.

I was talking about NAFA and their middle Sale.

Each auction house has 3 sales this year, with the middle sale being the best, IMO

That is May for NAFA and march for FHA.

I suggest you check your reading comprehension next time.

For my product the one closest to February is the best no matter what order it is in. Last year NAFA's first sale( second for my product) for most wild fur was May and it did the same as FHA's third sale. NAFA's first sale for my product at the end of January (near February) did the best for them. I'll stick with my February marketing plan. smile

Many of these fisher pelts are being re offered from previous auctions.

Please tell me what the huge difference is? Our furs did not make the March sale so they will be in the May sale.
