They got blindsided by the market. That machine needed a lot of fuel. Way more than just mink loans ( which was the backbone of they’re business).
Now nepotism, did wissmiss have any connections (cousins) at Nafa? I disagree. They were expanding in a declining market. I think they were doing a groeny. When the market dropped they were selling 3 million or so mink. When they went bankrupt they were selling 10 million or so mink below production cost.

I don’t like that implication. I will make a mental note to NEVER answer any question you may ask. Except for this one!! I have NO blood relatives involved at Fur Harvesters or in the now defunct North American Fur Auction. Not now or in the past. My connections to FHA and NAFA are as a buyer and a seller. So put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!!!!

Nimzy WissMiss is a buyer. She benefits from the way these people operate by her own admission. If I am not mistaken [/b]she has relation that works there[b]. Those folks are not making the decisions however. It is the president. Watch for the golden parachutes to come out any time now. If they cannot get this right, which I doubt they can because of Canadian fear of foreign travel and other things, it will be there Waterloo. LLL

So put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!!!! Just trying to confirm another serious accusation. For the record I believe in the auction process. The incentive rewards both parties. It’s absence would be a serious blow to trappers profitably. IMO I grow tired of all the accusations of unscrupulous actions in their association. I don’t think they are perfect and agree they make mistakes. But I’m not buying into malicious wrongdoing. Thought maybe you could help.

Nimzy I never made any accusations. I was simply pointing out why she would carry their water. She said she buys mostly in the PT room as well so only parroting her comment. LLL

I appreciate the auctions and what they do. From the county, state, and up to the "big" auctions, I'm glad there are entities supporting us and providing an outlet for our wild trapped resources.

A true auction works on commission. They don't buy or actually care about production costs Just how fast they can receive and sell product

I agree Blackhammer, a true auction would and should be that way. Nafa had so much investment in those mink farms they were almost co-owners when their bank pulled the plug.

Losing The wild fur shipper council money Is what frosts me. Extremely poor business practices from those board members. Millions of trappers money lost.

"At the FHA sale in April 2020, I did put together a couple of deals after the auction ended." I guess you all glanced over this. I doubt it was your first time in the PT room. I really do not care one way or another. I simply know why you stick up for shady practices of the auctions especially FHA.
On a side note I do not blame nor do I have any disrespect when it comes to your relation that do work for FHA. They are stand up people who work for not so stand up people. LLL
