Thompson was around $35 averages today. that is what FHA is advancing up to now. -minus your interest charges come sales date. CD$35/1.35 = 25 USD

Canadian Trappers Talk Forum this morning posts that last years averages in Thompson for northern Manitoba (nice marten) were $58 CA. and Fridays (yesterday) averages for the same skins were $35 CA., that means last years average was 65% higher than this years average. Plug in the freezer, but let's see what today brings. SAGA's sale in Finland on Thursday and Friday of this week showed good interest in the best of the best farm raised Russian Sables, maybe the top 10%, the next cut down dropped by almost 2/3's in price, that's not normal. They also let most of the goods go. You could buy one heck of a good farmed Russian Sable for 70 Euros, $77USD. or about $100 Ca.

Dont forget the avg at Thompson includes the advance(the advance is quite a bit less than the sale price) from fha,so not the real avg.

Last year the consigned goods were also part of the average that amounted to $58 CA. They are part of the average this year as well. That means the figures are accurate.

Needs to be a bunch of money spent doing PR on fur products. Nothing is as renewable, ( think eco green ) as fur; especially wild fur. That message needs to be pushed hard. Forget about all the "humane" trapping standards and focus on the renewable message. Dont run from the animals die part of trapping. Show how renewable and good for conservation it is. Just last night I read the best article on trophy hunting that I've ever read. Everyone needs to read it, then think about how the same things apply to trapping / furbearers. https://thecritic.co.uk/issues/janu...6azxs4wkt4_8XlvoyWdjPFk5AYpqODnp2uwHYbcQFaux fur is plastic, and so is Polar fleece and nylon. They take centuries to disintegrate, but most urbanites don't even think about that. Fur is Organic, Free Range, Green, and easily biodegradable. We have nano-plastics raining down on us and enviro's are telling us to "wear more plastic"?

As a comparison to last year,maybe,but not a true avg to expect on sales. Even a comparison to last year wont be accurate since you had two entities offering advances last year.

Problem is, who’s gonna bank roll it?........Especially on a scale that would/could have an impact? This kind of a messaging (PR) campaign ain’t cheap to sustain for years! And with the way fur farming has totally taken over the fur market the wild fur producers have no leverage.
