I say it should stay at around $100 lb.
Hope so anyway,I should have around 25 lbs by fall.
Nowadays I mostly sell in the spring and/or fall.Once or twice a year.
I dont try to play the market with castor,it has been pretty steady-actually rising slowly over time-sort of a reverse of the fur market,but much less volatile over the years.

Is that $100 Canadian or American? Some of us need to know these things.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

the last auction prices have not held up to those levels 105UDS for western pale castor#1,
you got 10 weeks to the next prices are posted to find the level
With India and China shut down for imports it is a waiting game
especially when USA has sent some battleships over there.

A minor point,

But the United States does not deploy battleships to any where, anymore.

They are retired, mothballed, or relegated to museum piece status.

Aircraft Carriers are now the USA's primary instruments of power projection.

Will the Canadian Navy be sending over their rowboat
to help support the United States carrier group
as part of NATO ? laugh

Good one Walleyed on my choice of words, but it is probably going to be viewed as an act of aggression with China's view.

Our PM is going to send some love and flowers and then welcome to free land and medical care back in Canada-he will be waiting in person on the coast with open arms and a kiss to welcome them

Start a promotion that a mix of castor and sang are good for you...just a pinch between your cheek and gum.
