Boco - the problem with a lot of your posts, comments, theories, etc., is that you only see the situation from a Canadian perspective. And you think that applies to all North American Trappers. Well, it doesn’t!!

Truth be told, you don’t know diddly about United States Trappers. How they think. How they view Fur Harvesters. Etc. The only thing US trappers and Canadian Trappers have in common is that they are Trappers.

So get off your high horse and stop thinking you are the most informed person on this forum.

There are plenty of real nice people on this site,but the typical American arrogance,known world wide comes thru from some.
I got no problem with that,makes for interesting threads,I'm just here to point out that some of the arrogant ones should strive to be more humble and nice-more like Canadians eh?But not likely because I dont think they even realize it,lol.-For example like saying because an opinion from a Canadian perspective is wrong because it is Canadian and not American,when there are plenty of both here,is the height of arrogance-see?
The funniest are the Americans who pretend to be Canadians like that SP Jones kid,lol.

The international auction was not nearly as optimistic on xl size rats or 2xl-3xl rats that were falls or even light winters and slights. The tops moved a lot. I had 3 $6 rats in September and those were $8.70 this sale. My heavy xl and semi 2xl-3xl PT sold for $3.50 and $4.00. I had mediums near that this round. The buyers that were paying $6 , 4 and 2 knew where the market was especially when the a very high percentage could find their way into the $2 piles. We will see how July goes. Probably won't be a lot of rats there cut will be interesting to see how the 2xl, xl and large sell. I only have 10 and should have 8 winters and a couple springs.

Kopenhagen fur.
Brown velvet males.
September 2020. 695000 offered $24.80 average. 99% sold
February 2021. 410000 offered $50.10 average. 100% sold
April 2021. 540000 offered. $57.90 average. 100% sold. .

Here's what I have learned after catching and selling fur for almost 50 years: It always pays to be prepared when you market that fur....

Here’s some food for thought.
-
$57.90-24.80= $33.10 x 695000 =$23,004,500.00. Market adjustment. Wonder how those who sold in September @ kopenhagen felt?

My calculations for brown velvet males. About 10% of the volume of the sale. 6.5m skins (one sale)

Seriously, Boco has forgot more about trapping than I’ll ever know. When Boco speaks, people should listen.

Is kopenhagen still planning on shutting the doors even if ranch mink do become profitable again?
