Not that money is the only incentive to trap. Although it likely inspires increased activity in those with other motives. You almost had your mind right! It would appear trappers tend to reset the level it is worth it. I anticpate trappers getting excited and bragging about new prices that are still not very good or poor. They want to trap, so they will tell themselves it is worth it or antipate prices that will not materialize. Even here I hear stuff about fur already caught, frozen and ready to dump on the market when prices get acceptable, probably flooding the market and keeping prices moderately low.

OK they are having inspections starting tomorrow. My fur is still not updated on my account. They sold stuff pt so who knows what is for sale and what is not? I also see they have turned it into an internet sale and extended it because of renewed interest. If there is such interest wouldn't the buyers be bidding aggressively from the start? I wonder how many days of pt they will have after the sale and how long it will take to make all those back door deals? Sure hope this is not another continued fire sale but I am not very optimistic about the outcome. I have coon left but they gave the best away earlier and sold all my rats for little to nothing compared to what you all are talking now. I guess time will tell. I just hope I get paid for what they gave away after the last auction pt fest. You know, the one where they said no PT sales after the auction was over. LLL

I feel the Groney sale will about kill any chance of FHA having a good sale. I feel that is where the international buyers will be. There may be some bargain shopping on the computer and small buyers looking to pick up stuff cheap to resale at trapper auctions or use in the trinket trade. But some how I don't see a fur boom coming. I wonder if FHA will survive what is going on. All the stars are lining up for Groney.

First priority at FH is getting catalogs ready so buyers have something to work with tomorrow. Right now, only 7 catalogs have been posted.
Once ALL the catalogs are ready, then updating shipper accounts is the next step. What have they been doing this whole time since the last "sale"? Don't tell me tagging and bringing in new fur because that amount is surely a mere pitence of what they have taken in in the past. Updating an account after a sale is usually done instantly but I guess they could not do that this time. LLL

Once ALL the catalogs are ready, then updating shipper accounts is the next step. This is where the wise use of technology could pay off. It is all the same data, just a different sort and distribution. It should all be done at the same time in the background or offline and then it is just a matter of making it live.

Don't know If this fact or not but groney isn't having a sale. Sometime about the Chinese telling him It's not going to happen.

With the Trump vaccines, and possibly some light at the end of the cofid tunnel, the hope is for loosening restrictions. So as for the upcoming June/July sale, it sounds like FHA is prepared to move it back to Aug etc if that means open borders and in person auction. Let's hope so and the sooner the better!

During the 3 months since the last receiving date for this sale, Canada has spent a lot of time in lockdown. Only so many people could be in the building at once. At one point is was 5 and it was only that many because the FH building is 2 levels tall. Amostnof thenemployees were working from home.
It is easy for an IT guy or an office person to work from home. But what about a fur Grader?? What is he/she supposed to do - take 2000 muskrats home to grade..........
GIVE THEM A BREAK!!!! They are attempting to have a sale in very difficult times. This isn’t a walk in the park for them!!! That is laughable. Greg and his crew have been there the whole time. What fur is there to grade? I bet this is as little of fur as they have handled in decades. But like has already been said, they sold a bunch of fur six plus months ago and have not updated anything. That all could have been done remotely unless something else is going on. My take is that they did not want folks to know what they gave their better fur away for until they had shipped this winter's fresh goods to them. Nothing else comes close to explaining it. Quit carrying their water. They would not tell you the truth either if it was shady. LLL

I got the perfect solution for LL....don't ship to FHA if you don't like how they do things. They pretty much have been doing things the same way ever since I first shipped 22-23 years ago. Nothing new here.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
