Well my otter did pretty fair considering the last couple years… but they sold my freakin black rats PT for 4.50 … had 82 of them too. I’m perturbed… cheaper for them than any other rats bigger than medium. That’s BS in my opinion

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'll second that, I've sold my cats there the last two years and did good. Last year I held five I didn't get offered what I wanted and shipped to FHA, still have one or two up there, but got a fraction of what I was offered at Glenns Ferry for the ones that sold. This year I averaged over a hundred bucks higher than my minimum bid average at Glenns Ferry. On about 35 cats I got a $374 average after deducting commission. Put up is a big deal on the auction, I think more important on the local auctions even than on the international ones, the buyers have more time to look the fur over and detect any flaws on a local auction than the graders do at an international auction where they are going through hundreds of thousands of furs. A buyer may come to a local auction and only need 50 nice cats, so he has two days to go over them with a fine tooth comb and pick out only the best to bid on.

That’s good to hear foxhunter. That’s enough to make a guy want to catch a few. Better go start scouting out some toilets

WBG , the last couple years at least, the black rats have been at or near the top lot of rats in the auctions. Maybe things are suddenly changing but to sell a lot of 190 or so rats that low compared to the other rats seemed silly. If they averaged even in the ballpark of where they’ve been, it just cost me close to a couple hundred bucks. They sold my last batch for 7.00 in April. Maybe those 190 rats in that lit were gonna take up too much space waiting for the next auction cycle. Beats me. Next year, FHA won’t have as many black rats I reckon.
I’d love to know what the valuation was for that lot.

I’m glad to hear the prices on western coyote and bobcat aren’t in the toilet. Any word on reds and greys? And did they even offer any kit fox? I know the kits are a pretty niche market but they pay for a lot of gas on my line

I have to ask. Does the zoo have any thing to do with the fur market? It is a trinket / Taxidermy market from what I have seen.

Well just checked, out of two cats I've had sitting up there, one of them sold, for $395 before commission. Not what I was hoping for, but better than I was expecting. Frankly I wasn't expecting any nice cats to sell on an internet sale unless they sold at firesale prices. What it looks like is some furriers needed some good cats and decided that they had to take a chance, but they are only buying what they absolutely need before the next, hopefully live auction. So clearances are limited, but they knew they had to bid over FHA's minimum to get what they absolutely need. No competitive, go nuts bidding to produce those ridiculously high lots, but FHA didn't firesale them to get rid of them either.
