In the beaver grading the RR stands for red rimmed. Is that just a color terminology or what does that mean? Usually happens in spring beaver and sometime fall ones. Basically beavers with too small or crowded of houses get it. Caused by being in urine and stains down by the tail. It light after the pelt is dry it's fairly easy to see it's reddish and the fur is coarse

In the beaver grading the RR stands for red rimmed. Is that just a color terminology or what does that mean? It is a red tint around the pelt. Usually has a designation of 4 or 8 in nafa catalog. That number references how far into the pelt it is. 4mm 8mm. It is usually discounted price but in today's hatter market I'm not so sure it makes a bit of difference. It does matter on those who buy for long hair or shearing markets

RR is a pretty good grade and brings a decent price overall.They are shearable pelts.The amount of red(how deep it goes) in the underfur affects value.

Mike,did you get any type of downgrade like a sd on the marten due to pitch as far as you know? Yes. My SD’s add up to what I noted in my quantity/color/size notes to being the ones that had heavy sap between the ears to hips. Kind of a bummer. Like I said, it is what I have to work with.

A Trapper partner gave me a marten one time that was literally covered in pitch from a white spruce or a balsam.He knew it wasn't worth skinning in that condition and so did I.I had a bucket of old gas in the gas shack so I took the whole marten and swished it around in the gas,then hung it out in the wind for a couple days(cold weather).Then I took it in and thawed it out and skinned it.It still had the gas smell but the fur was the nicest one in the pile. I wouldn't do that unless there was a lot of pitch in the pelt.For a small spot If it is tight I will cut the skin and sew it.Maybe not practical if you have a bunch though.
