You sold green.Skin'n is the eazy part of the put up.
What did you expect ? TOP price for green pelts ?

Settle down there buddy. If you have been paying attention to the Facebook live posts they do that buyer is about $10-15 low on yotes and $5 lower on coon then the other buyers have been in the past month.

Trevor Barnes. Look him up. He travels to buy and if he comes close to go he will pay more than GFW for sure. He does all his own buying when he travels. I also agree that selling green is not the best option. Easier to refuse a buyer's offer when you can take dried finished fur home and store it easier than green.

The right to refuse comes to mind, there's more than one buyer out there.

That would be interesting to see a state auction. We have nothing if that sort.

As stated before, some of us do not have the facilities to finish fur, that's why we sell green.
LDW, nice looking coyotes. We're just not far enough west to get better grades.

Barnes sure sounds good. Maybe he'll expand his route next year.

Is sold a couple weeks ago to Richard Clark out of Coleman Wi. I am pretty sure he said he was affiliated with Trevor Barnes.
(4) coyotes at $40.00 ea. (4) 3XL coon at $15.00 ea. (2) mink at $3.00 ea and (47) rats at $3.52 ea average. All put up. I was good with the price and he was helpful with suggestions on the put-up. I've got a 1/2 doz years or so doing this so its nice for any hints etc.
Just another option I guess.

Very dissapointed selling to groenwald. 11 yotes all good none rubbed.(granted not all top end but a few real good ones. Two blondes I know would be cheap) All coon were large boars. Everything sold green. I will make sure I never sell to that buyer again. I believe his name was hunter. Never seen so many guys take back fur out of the truck. Should have pulled everything back out of the truck. He said his top yotes are $40 and top coons are $10. All prime December Wisconsin fur

On somewhat of a side note i have been seeing a bunch of horrible coyotes at the fur buyer recently. With the word out that Coyotes are worth a lot of money there are a lot of guys dog hunting and calling trying to sell dogs they think are worth a lot but aren't. Fist sized and larger holes in one or both sides shot three and four times and mange ridden dogs. Then they get a little disgruntled when they are offered $5 a dog or nothing. The amount of work to that needs to go into an animal that has that much damage if you can even work it is beyond them. There will be a lot of these dogs hitting the auctions as they are getting bought for nothing and hemmed up the best way possible.

I also think that with the trim market somewhat changing how we look at coyotes in general we are seeing dogs graded differently per the market they are in. Flat fur with little to no guard hairs just isn't worth much in this market. That is what I am seeing and being told anyways. I think the market is going to move more towards a bigger separation between good and bad as it progresses. My two cents. This will cause the buyers to be more leary of green fur they have to invest capital in on top of initial investment to gain return.
