Here are the results from today's MTPCA fur sale at Jay's Sporting Goods in Clare, MI. I wasn't there, just posting results from the MTPCA Facebook page.

Those prices are a little higher than I would of guessed they would be, so it's at least not bad news.

Only 5 grey fox but the average is still impressive. IMO

I would like an interpretation of the castor results. Thanks!

(If that is $335/lb....well, it's too late to set traps today, but come Sunday morning I'll be out there!)

Those are all put up fur. Green fur would be noted.

Any chance they would ever have a sale further north?

Those are better than I expected. No fisher at the sale?

Fisher are highly restricted in MI. Only 1 per season and only in the U.P. Mandatory registration of animal also. I think most people who harvest a fisher have the hide tanned and it is kept.

The only thing I see to get excited about Is the rat price.

Obviously, you are bashing the MTPCA by this forthright statement. smile

I believe they sell castor by the “pile”. No weight to go by. Just what ever the trapper has is in one lot.

So they had at least 2 “piles” of castor. One sold for $335.00. One sold for $195.00. There could have been more “piles”, we don’t really know.

I feel I did pretty good selling to the rat wagon, higher averages and mine was green.

I agree with you Beav. It would appear from the numbers, that is the only thing sent in volume. So, my guess, is most trappers agree with you.

thank you for posting the results. MI always has a nice sale and the rats seem to be doing well. There are some good rats out of that area. Pretty good sample size too. One would need to average $4.70 at FHA to net the same with an 11% commission.
Reds just don't get any traction. With a $20 top and a $9 average there are just a lot of $10 reds these days. $7.75 for put up coons. With $2-$3 suggested value for put up that means we have a $5 average on MI grease coons.
Four average Eastern coyotes are worth 20 average put up coons, or 24 male mink.

Thanks Nancy for the interpretation. When I read those #'s I almost had a "pile" in my britches!
