Castor is a hot commodity right now,and rising in price.An extra $10 cd about for each beaver caught all in.$55/lb sounds quite low.

Groenwold, $55 a pound dried. You’re welcome. Thanks Horse Creek. I got in a hurry and forgot my manners.

How many beavers does it take to make a pound? Depends on size of beaver and time of year. Spring beaver doesn't take as many as fall/winter beaver, at least in the North

It varies.I generally just count my castors to figure the avg.
Last year I sold 120 castors and recieved just under $1200 bucks.I forget what the weight was but I think at that time it was around 90/lb.
Thats Canuck dollars.

Not many good full castors here mostly shells had. 51 pounder was not impressed with the sacks.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Trevor Barnes will buy it at a fair price. Can't say exactly what he is offering today but I got 26 buck for 5 oz a few weeks ago. Look up Barnes hide and fur and call him.
Wish I had more time to trap....

Don’t want to spoil this thread but I heard from a good source of 300 pounds getting sold for $110 American dollars plus packing and shipping from Canada. So if you shop around you may get a better price. I also saw 7 pounds sold for $60 Canadian all grades in to a buyer. I guess it all depends on where you market your castor. Same goes for fur. Definitely not spoiling the thread sask, thanks.

One has to keep in mind that 300# perfectly dried, etc, is quite a prize for the larger buyer/exporter and therefore is worth more than 50-60 small-time deals with trappers where moisture levels likely need amended and so forth.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
