It takes time,there are still ejits that call footholds "legholds"

I wish you were right, Jim. The graph I am going by was sent out yesterday and has the overall world production to be offered in 2020 set at a little over 35 million. This was in a rancher auction report so maybe you didn’t see it.

Yes l received that one too. Either way the number has dropped dramatically from the peak. The fur market will tighten up and start going the other way. I will be watch Kopenhagen this sale to see if the trend continues from their last sale.

I believe this is probably the smallest wild fur harvest in history.

Your math on the number of coyotes NAFA offered this season is not correct. Not all of the 52,000 coyotes offered at the February sale sold. There were Eastern and southern coyotes that were Bought Back and are being reoffered at this sale. I don't know the number but it is enough that the total offering is below 130,000. Probably more like 110,000.


Ok, is 110k coyotes offered through NAFA about typical, below average, or way low for NAFA over say the last 5 years or so...?

It isn't that big of a deal. Seems like the only person bothered by this is Boco. Why am I not surprised!?

Why not call ranch fur-factory fur.
Its no wonder the fur trade is struggling when people who are supposed to up market fur,denigrate it instead.
A much better term would be" exotics".

Stop worrying coonman. Next year Saks and Macy's will fight each other to get your certified and traceable coon. They will know they are buying BMP Iowa coon and that is what the consumer wants.

I was happy with my NAFA Feb coon sales, much, much better for me than in 2018. I have more smaller skins in the May auction so I'm expecting an average drop but if its not as bad as what I'm thinking, good deal. Of course, how many of the May offering will be bought back...?

I predict that they will join their brethren that were bought back in the last sale.

I predict nafa will work very aggressively at selling your coon for you. Good or bad. Because they aren't going to want to hold them over another year. Jmo

Hang on to them until there are no more ranch mink junk plugging up the market.
