Guy are you referring to grading as put up? I'm a little confused...

I think he means lotting. The auctions use valuations to mix sizes and grades to get larger lots which the Chinese mass producers want.In other words if they put a valuation on a lg dmg II A,and their valuation of a xl dmg II C is the same they will mix them into the same lot to get a larger lot.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

As a Veteran of 50 plus years marketing fur I would have to say in all honesty that neither NAFA or FHA actually give a rats arse about the North American Trapper Canadian or US I have used both houses since the early seventies and also have sold thousands of skins in New York when the Fur District was thriving and my evaluation of Both of these facilities is they don't put up fur properly! The Market is the Market and disputing prices levels is nonsense, the crux of the matter for us is where they put my skins! I know fur and I now fur well, and the put up and offering at each of the Major Houses is at best Sad and at worst criminal! Year after Year I try to Market goods in several different outlets for the simply fact that from time to time you can greatly benefit from a sudden Market swing whether your goods were graded properly or not! What I want is competent, skilled people with actual knowlage and skill lotting my goods, the price is inconsequential! The put up at both places today is a nightmare and that is the deal breaker!I hear the story every time I ask that prices are so low it makes no sense to fine grade articles BS!As a harvester I want my fur graded properly each species each time, I don't care if there is a dime difference in grade I want my skins graded right! Perhaps if the level of put up had not dropped in the last few years purchasers would be more willing to raise levels on grades that they know are clean, now they know they are buying a pendulum swing in each string, what is the incentive to compete! I don't know, perhaps I'm just a jaded, cranky old man who longs for days gone bye but something is not right here beyond our shrinking, volatile market! But....I was just told this gives fur an added value. I didn't believe him.

It's kind of like the old cliché, If Momma Isn't happy then know ones happy. That can probably relate to the buyers.

yes I am referring to the grade In either house I would like the grade to stay some what close to previous years it would help at getting new shippers to gage whether or not to ship imo

Well..... not happy, my marten shrunk, went pale, didn’t sell and what did sell brought about half of what last weeks NAFA sale did. Did I mention that I am not happy. Hopefully there will be some private treaty sales.
GUK.....it's the sound they make when they hit the end of the cable

Lol i only sent 68 reds to this one and while I'm not an expert by any means I do catch and handle a couple hundred in a given season and I like to think I can tell a decent fox from a junker. I sent the ones I did after I weeded out a few rougher ones.
Out of 68 reds I sent , 31 of them graded Regular II b-c color. That's the 5.00 fox in most any year lol. I have a pretty good feel for what I send and when you weed out the bad ones and that's the grade you have left I think I got reason to suspect something went awry. All of North America only had about 450 of them and I managed 31?? Lmao!
