Looking at their manual it shows 5.25" at 60" compared to the large nafa fox boards 7 at 35 and the smalls 6at 24.=what's with the discrepancy?

Would go with FHA size as that is how ranch fox are boarded i.e. like pencils. How I do mine anyway for years. I don't spread the boards either after putting the fox on and no issues with turning and re-boarding fur out. Makes for a thicker heavier skin somewhat but there is no hiding unprime fur from a good grader. Would be interested in opinions of others.

I always went with the 7”. Never had a problem.

I keep desperately hoping that one day someone will call me "Sir" without adding "please calm down" or "you're causing a scene."

Been using them for the past 10 years. Received good money when the market was up and good money when it was down, just not as much of it.

If they are already made boards I wouldn’t cut on them.

I made my red fox boards to NAFA specs. The large are too wide for all but the biggest of my reds, especially across the shoulders. The small NAFA boards fit pretty good.

I noticed way back when I first made my boards that FHA speced a much narrower board. My country buyers back then didn't like the wide boards either.

Eh...wot?

The FHA boards are way to narrow for the fox we get here.
I made my own boards to fit my section of fox,they are closer to NAFA size.
FHA wolf board is way to narrow for here also. [Linked Image]

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