Good news if the "valuation" was $20

Bad news if the "valuation" was $2

They are on page 47 of 63 on the bobcat.

The first 3 1/3 pages - which are the Canadian bobcats - had very good clearance. After that,, not so much……….

Were you referring to lot # 294? That's the last lot in the catalog.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. Hopefully you aren’t counting on that money to pay the mortgage!!

I haven’t studied the bobcat catalog, just glanced through it looking for numbers in a certain column. Those numbers are few and far between. Unfortunately.

Are the castor amount on one’s account page listed as pounds or ounces? When is castor normally sold?

Castor is usually sold PT after the auction. Some times a couple weeks after, depending on the buyers.

After hear reports FHA in last 2 years an the bad times for them with sales with covid, I don't think interest ship nothing them unless pretty hot market on item, also it sounds like as a shipper an what can view sales or know what go on, they lack in what shippers can see in accts Communication compare to past nafa

My sentiments exactly. The communication on what is sold and the selling price shouldn't be a large ask for an auction company selling your goods. The lots sold and the price paid would seem an easy piece of info they could quickly provide.

I hope western bobcat and coyote do well. If fox and coyote do alright and bobcats don’t it may change how my line shapes up this season.

For your section of bobcat Bob I would sure be looking at selling at Fallon or Klamath Falls.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I would also add the Idaho sale in Glenn’s Ferry. They have 2 sales a year - January and March. They got great prices last season.

I’ve been a big supporter of OTC back to 1973, when I helped get it started. And I still am a big supporter. . Having said that, the Klamath sale hasn’t been that great the past 2 years. Covid cancelled it in 2020 and this year it was sort of lack luster, as far as buyer participation goes. I’m hoping that this is a temporary situation and that Klamath Falls can once again become the BIG end of season cleanup sale.

I always plan on selling at Fallon. I really hope they actually have a sale next March. If I could’ve taken my bobcat to Fallon last March i likely would have got $100+ more. I only had one to sell, so I just sold it at the pelt sealing in winnemucca.

Yup, last full weekend of February for Fallon. Has been that weekend for 20 plus years, maybe longer. Most of the western trapping associations have their sales up so that there isn’t any conflict for the buyers. Makes things simple.

If you are looking for a March sale you’ve got -

OTC Prineville
ITA Glenn’s Ferry
OTC Klamath Falls

And some years Montana. Colorado and Utah are both in February.

You’re right, not March. Except this year, it didn’t happen at all.
