The ITA had hanging racks several years ago when the fur quantities were like this. Not sure what happened to them. $819 is my guess on the cat.

Looks orderly to me. Just needed more room and more tables. People need to call in a week ahead of the sale and reserve. Organizers will then know who and how much is coming. Will know how many days are needed and tell the buyers what to expect.

I see, the second picture makes it look like it has essentially not much of a belly. If that's truly what it looks like I wouldn't expect any of the high numbers some guys here are quoting. For your sake I hope I'm wrong but I'll guess 125, (maybe).

Waggler - I think you are way low. Probably at least 4 times what you posted.

The belly looks way better in the first picture. The back is blah. Nothing to write home about. And yes, the back fur is I,pirtant as well as the belly. When you pay big prices for pelts, you aren't going to through half of it away.

It's 230 in south Idaho. I'm thinking they are probably getting ready to wrap things up and post bids. And the excitement builds. LOL

When the Ontario trappers sales started getting bigger in the 1950's,they realised that the hotel was too small,and knew they needed a bigger venue.For a few years they rented a warehouse in North Bay,but as sales grew even more they realized they needed their own building,and that is when they built the facility at 1867 bond street,the home of FHA today.
Some of these small western sales could grow into something bigger if sales consignments continue to grow.

Doubt that will ever happen Boco, these western auctions are primarily state oriented, they are not proven to share fur and like to have their own auctions. Some what of a friendly competition for each of them against one another, there are even problems with a couple states when different Trapping Associations have auctions close together due to traveling times and other larger auctions in different states. there has been some talk of a couple folding into a large one, but nothing ever seems to come from it.

There are some who no sale and go to other state auctions, but usually end up selling for close to what they were bid the first time.

Now if all western auctions banded together and had a very large auction on a regular basis there might be some interest generated by more buyers, though I don't think that will ever happen either.

Most auctions out here are dependent on access during the season, some years there are not hardly any cats, or dogs due to access, however the last few seasons cats have held high pretty well making harvesters some good funds where limits on cats are high or non-existent. That also helps the dog pelts increase which is a side bonus for most this year as well.

I would watch for that to change some what after high prices this year !!

Thanks. I was hoping I didn't win so that I could keep my luck for Powerball Weds.
