Good Idea. More options for trappers the better. Good timing too,IMO.

I may drive up to Iowa if they post a date and time. Not that far for me. I have questions. COOP says to me investors needed.

caveat emptor
Let the buyer beware of this scheme based on who is making the pitch.
Sounds like another NAFA WFSC boondoggle in the making.

Sounds good on paper. However, not so sure it is feasible endeavor. It has been tried before. Oregon Territorial Council on Fur, Inc. (OTC) in 1973. Another group in Colorado in the 1980s (can’t remeber the person name).
Most trappers are too independent people to take part in such a plan.
I wish them good luck. Rocky Mtn Fur Exchange? I think I still have a catalog from one of their sales in Denver that I dropped in on, maybe some photos too.

I am not sure what part Dale would play. I am not aware of any auction experience he has. I might look into it. He said something about this on facebook the other day during a conversation about the failure of NAFA and the failures of the Canadian government to let anyone into the country. LLL

More outlets for selling is good for harvesters no doubt !!
Maintaining control of harvest for top dollars has always been a conglomerates down fall, due to the harvesters thinking they can do better by just keep on hauling in fur.
If there is a demand for fur, which is way low and has been for a long time, prices stay up, ranch fur controls most of that, control demand you can control the price of fur. Ranch fur has taken a serious hit lately with the covid, could make some short term investors glitzy with ambition in my view.
Harvesters need to get together and control what's being sent to sell, instead of just sending in everything cause they wish a return of something. Do this and you might cause some stability in need for fur.
However most need to realize that regular use of fur is seriously limited to certain areas and cost's for this type will never be high as most who use it cannot afford that cost, cheap fur goes here, but not like it used to, due to petroleum products substituting better insulating products for cheaper cost which last longer.
Maybe when the world goes totally green again fur will comeback in vogue and real need, with out oil there are no synthetics to take it's place !
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !
