Yes I believe the standard was to advance no more then half the current value.

The agent on the truck has a chequebook and a list of how much he could advance for each species.If the trapper wanted the advance the agent cut him a cheque at the truck,like Jim said,based on his fur receipt(number of pelts in his bags).


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Just to add a little, based on what the Agent grades them to be upon receipt as they go through them all.

You cant pull the wool over a lot of them at the truck or depo.

Was that a practice limited to Canadian producers ? I never saw an agent do that at a pickup here.

The fur is never looked at when the cheque is written here anyway.

Trying to stay objective with the whole NAFA situation.
Took it as a positive when I saw October proceeds posted to my financial statement a few days ago.
I guess it is a negative as I see those proceeds have now disappeared.

"I've heard NAFA is in financial trouble due to the extremely low ranch mink prices."

Should have listened to Dave.

Dave was beating on NAFA through the boom years as well so not much objectivity there.

Well, I was cruising the NAFA ranch mink website and I believe last year NAFA put out a statement to the mink ranchers that all was well, concerning a rumor of NAFA's financial situation. frown

Dave seems to monitor the market fairly well IMO.
