What is going on today

Ranch mink, then sable/marten, then ranch fox.

Looks like the mink sale is going to need some creative analysis. I hope marten don't.

they got this

When do fisher sell

Fisher sell tomorrow - Saturday.

End of day. After 1.2 million ranch mink.

They got extra creative with the Marten. 10% or so of the Semis are XXL and averaged somewhere around $80. The XLs averaged $56.74( maybe 25%) the LGs averaged $36.65 65% or so of the offering.

The semis overall average is higher than the XL's at $57.58.

Sounds bout right lol

Lots of resistance this morning; only the biggest & best. Heavy emphasis on biggest, 4-0,3-0. Mins are tight though.

How did fisher sell

In general were the ranch mink prices considered poor at this sale?

Overall OK, but clearances were tough, nobody is really making money at these levels. In fact most are losing money. Males in most cases above production cost but females mainly below.
Still a lot of mink to be sold in the world this year.
Mink99 would give us a better perspective.

Why does their report say 1.1 million mink sold at premium prices then?

Because today they sold the black mink today which are regarded as the best ranch mink in the world.
My comment is about the overall sale, which started last Monday and will finish tomorrow. Some colors had a lot rougher ride with less than 100% clearances.
Overall NAFA offered 4.2 million mink this week plus the wild fur.

Gibb that makes sense. I didn’t know that’s why I asked thanks for clearing that up.

Gibb is prettty much spot on. Basically if you had big mink of good quality a rancher did okay though they are probably still in the red.

The black males seem to be at the same levels of last February and the black females a little higher. The black top lots were out of this world. I wish the top lot selection was like wild fur and everybody had a chance instead of just one rancher getting the majority of the top lots. Lots of politics in the ranch mink industry.

Overall the prices are okay but need to be higher and there were more buybacks this sale than last year. I have to say, to me, the Kopenhagen sale was a little better as they had fewer buybacks. But their mink are bigger and that makes a huge difference.

So if a Blackgamma Size 1 female 1 SN averages $42.66 in Feb 2017 and then averages $37.36 in March 2018 that is an increase (premium)?

or if nap average is $27.72,$36.83, $27.14,$20.12 for 1X,1,2,3 naps in 2017 then $25.19, $31.42, $23.73, $18.20 in 2018 prices are up?

It's new math, Dirt.

Wy type Marten, what did they avg?
