Fur market tanked in the 80’s, one of the auction houses went under. Who was it?? ALC another mink coop like NAFA just went under in Seattle a couple years back. Apparently, NAFA (mink ranchers) invested in this. "In April 2018, North American Fur Auctions acquired the American Legend Cooperative and its Blackglama brand.[4]" P.S. Blackglamas are selling cheap.

Has anyone got the good checks yet as promised? Or does anyone really care? Wow! I haven’t logged in lately. I thought I was the only one who had an issue with my bank rejecting my check from NAFA. I called my bank and they said call NAFA. I was just about ready to when I checked here. My problem? The charge to me from the bank for a returned check was more than the check! Is NAFA going to refund those bank charges? I’m done with them! After 15 + plus years this is it.

Just to expand a little on Walleyed's informational post on who runs NAFA, from my little understanding of how things work/worked. Wissmiss can correct my inaccuracies.
There is an 8 member board of directors. WFSC has two seats, Canadian Mink Breeders have two, U.S. mink breeders have two, Fox breeders have two. Ranchers 6. trappers 2 Mink ranchers 4.
The board controls the company. Who controls the company? Who is the red headed step child?

Yes Iowagian, it is sad after all these years of trust and not a clue. You might call me a hobbie trapper but none-the - less I am a trapper. I busted my but trapping 45 winter-prime muskrats in small froze-up ditches last January plus 6 mid-winter mink. I wonder if most rubber checks were here in the mid-west or nation wide? Just want to say the nafa agent for Iowa are good people. I am a member Wild Fur Shippers and Tom and Misty gave me a couple nice t-shirts at the Iowa convention plus my top lot hat for top lot rats.

I will still ship To NAFA and will probably sell some fur to Groney. Thee are tons of trappers that have no other option then to ship to NAFA. It will all work out In the end. I was never the kind of person to kick some one when they are down.

I was told by NAFA today... that the ranchers voted themselves HUGE rebates.
If this is true then it would seem that they paid themselves with other people's (trappers) money?
you can vote your way into socialism, but you will have to shoot your way out.

Great venues for those In that neck of the woods. But for those eastern trappers and for the most of us Midwestern trappers we have very few options.

I was researching Local buyers in my area and was impressed on the range that Petska had on their routes. They stop my this little ol place 5 times next year. I will never forget when I was a little kid and my brother was in high school he would rush every week to get his catch ready for the Petska buyer that came by town. This was the late 80's then. It is good to see them still cracking at it. I will likely be selling to local buyers and groups like petska and will be avoiding the auction market for a while.

Actually there is a letter by the president of NAFA on the NAFA website explaining the problem and apologizing for it. You just have to log into your account to read it
