Castor is $80-$85 a pound for well taken care of straight run semi dry castor. Straight higher grade would be more, shells less.

What's the opposite of price gouging called? When buyers pay less for a commodity due to panic?

I see no reason the price of castor would go down, beaver still need to be trapped regardless of the value of their pelt or lack thereof.

I don't suppose you'll share where you heard that, huh? Castor was about the only thing I was going to trap beaver for this spring, and if that market tanks, I'll let the vermin chew on more trees I guess.

The buyer I sold to said what he buys goes into facial cream type products. If you've seen any type of tv or radio add, you've seen this product.

Peej, my section of castor runs about 4-5 beaver to the lb. Colony beaver where the catch includes kits will be more like 8-10 beaver to the lb.

Everything else is tanking. Castor may follow.

Averaged $80/pound last weekend at the Idaho sale. I got $137 for a mere 24 ounces which comes to $91/pound. I believe the primary buyer at that sale goes by wallfur here on Tman if anyone wants to try to get ahold of him.

I am curious about that post because it sounded like he had some specific info.

After the last few days I would think that even buyers with solid orders are re-checking their buyers to make sure everything is green lights.

I feel for you guys that have your money out on the line waiting to see if the day to day situation helps or hurts. Must be hard for decision making when it comes to what you feel comfortable offering.
