I always wondered about that. Funny how different consignors grade differently. Of course both do it by industry standards. confused

I-II grade is a good grade.1 colour(clarity) is also good,so is 1-2.
Slt grade means slight holes or scars.
Slt dgd grade means multiple holes or scars.

What happened with the coyote lots? I happen to have some skins on limbo between western heavy and semi heavy. They are missing 19 lots on the catalog. Also must be holding on to lynxcat skins cause none of my leftover skins from last year are on my lotting letter. Overall the grading seems to be very good this year on all the skins. Just don't understand the missing coyote between lots 131601 and 131842. It could make a big difference weather those lots are western heavy or semi skins.

Do you guys that send in bunches of coons get them divided up into 30-50 different lots...? I sent 17 skins and get 16 lots. A bit different that the 3-4 pile country buying.

My regionalization is back more towards typical after last year's downgrading. I have 29% Western Northern which is about right on but the Western North-Centrals have dropped from the typical 60-65% down to just over 40%. That drop was picked up the Western Semi Heavies that is up to 29% than its typical (minus the 2018 selling season) of 10% or less. My coons must be adjusting their fur to climate change grin!

47% of my little batch of coon went "Sel" and 71% are NAFA stared. My worse grade is a SDB 3-4xl 1-4 in the WNC pages. I thought I sent 2 legit 5xl but see only one got counted that way. Its in the 3rd lot of the WNCs. I do have a WSH skin that in the 2nd lot of that region but its a better color than the one listed in front of it so maybe another Top Lot certificate for another $12 coon (Ha!).

We'll see how things shake out next Thurs morn. Hope you all have good grades on your stuff!

I will have Coons in almost every North central and a good majority of the western northern section as well. 5x down to the xl lots on the years that I target Coons. Our coon are big here so even our smallest coon stretch xl.

Has anyone figured out how to see where your lots are in the catalogue...the old format highlighted your pelts in the lots they where in or has this been deleted......also valuations are also not available....or do I need help from a computer GEEK

I usually have 50 to 60% in NWesterns with the majority that is left in NCentrals . As far as sizing right at 70% will be 3x or bigger, and has been since I started keeping track.

hey Cletuis, as of now you have to write down the miners and then go to the catalog page and look them up. They haven't updated it yet to where you can click on your lot number to find it in the catalog.

Sucks when they have coarse hair. I always have some that grade eastern. They are usually big old dogs with hair like pubic hair.
