I'll take a wild guess to get the ball rolling for ya.
Mink.....7 average Rats......3.50 average Cook.....5-6 average Fox...9 average Sound about right for your area, for finished stretch dry pelts, except mink is to high on average. I thinking, $3.50 average with 11 grade early mink up to fully prime, for average price on all, unless u got lot better mink there than here. Not much demand for wild mink for long time Received my nafa report today. $19 on one coon with rest selling as you suggest

Why would you take an advancement on fur at 50% valuation when they have been selling at that or lower? Get a job,save up money for expenses until you sell fur. So you have coon valued at $30,they loan you $15 and sell for $6. You owe Nafa $9 per coon. Get a shovel. Nafa is not go pay noone $15 a coon advance, last 2 seasons. $5-$6 on big coon that heavy coon, $5 on mink,$1.50-$2 on rats, I have 2 jobs, it cost lots money to go trapping, gas mostly, but other expenses, especally gas with row trapping , interest on advance is minimal, I don't think nafa is going get screwed on advances easy. Mine always pay back an got check when sold minus fees, it is nice if u can wait, sometimes months. Maybe give advances on sections of fur that don't sell well. Has ruined it for everyone that wants advance, no advance this season, an have go fur buyer with sad prices on coon , nafa pay good on coon

I’m hoping for at least an $80 average on my coyotes but I definitely wouldn’t be taking advanced on something as volatile as fur. That’s just begging for a mountain of debt. If I took $40 per coyote and the market tanked and they sold for $20 my wife would beat me over the head when I had to write nafa a check for the difference. cmon Bob she aent that mean.

The poster was asking about our fur. It'd be like a gold-rush if we could get the prizes you get for coon! Buddy just had NAFA sell what he had left over at auction for a dollar a coon. Good luck all, hope things pick up but I won't hold my breath.

4 of us have approx. 250 reds and greys still at nafa so where is this guy offering money for them ? PTA sales if you don't have a local buyer.

Maybe Nafa wouldn't be in the mess they are in if they remained an auction company,not a bank. I thought they were filmmakers? FYI NAFA takes the credit when the market is good, When its bad, they do not take the credit. They give it to somebody else.

I recommend your state fur sale put on by your association. That's always a good thing to support.
You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?
