The Russian Sables in western Russia are the smallest, the Urals have the smallest body size and the further east you go the bigger the body size. Kamchatka and the Barguzin region seem to produce the best and the biggest. They will be XXlg and XXXlg skins. Check SAGA's website with the sable offering and you'll see 91% of the sable offering are XLG and XXLG. They have not adopted separating out the XXX's like the Both North American sales have done a few years back.

The Russians stretch them differently-about a foot wide and a foot long.

Pretty tough fur handling in the past, but the wild skins are improving in handling all the time. Maybe due to being able to keep the revenue from the skins for themselves after the fall of the Soviet Union? Before they had no incentive to handle them properly.

Anybody hearing how any of the wild fur is doing?

I think it starts in 6 hours

kk thanks

What time will the coon sell. LLL

Now we are getting somewhere, dirt.

The solution to the ranch mink problem is twofold. Too many produced and there needs to be another big fashion trend with the short haired furs. The overproduction is quickly being addressed. I am hearing now less than 25 million skins being produced for next year. I think it will be a little more than that but production is coming way down. Just got to get rid of the surplus which will take time.

Coy otes are selling

$140.00 top eastern coyote, lot 125 $110.00 down hill from there.

Central coyotes were not good, top of 56 and low of 10.50. Could have done better at home.

I recorded the coyote sale and watched this morning, they sold well! I averaged $71.33us on my easterns.
Anyone watch the rats? My camera ran out just before the rat sale.

Wonder when they will show on our accounts? In the past they were updated pretty quickly.

Rats sold good, 5.75 top, just about everything sold that I seen.prices were down about 20 to 30 cents per grade compared to last year from what I had.

Thanks

Hopefully mine did as well as yours

Results are posted for rats and marten, and everything else that sold already.

Anybody have coyotes carry over from the last sale? The numbers were not in the catalog so I assume they weren’t offered? They did not sell so I’m assuming that’s the case. Kinda wish they would have offered them.

When will the wild mink be offered?

Small and medium beaver are considerably higher than they’ve been recently.
