Yesterday, January 27th. Here's a picture of the bad news. Those were the best of all my coyotes. Said they were speculative buying. The 4 mink @$4.00 were large or exlarge. The rats were stretched to FHA dimensions close as I could get them. Said they were to narrow, Chinese lik 'em wider. And you can see castor was $60/lb. I won't be driving as far next year, or taking 6 weeks of my time in the process.

At least you got a nice print out of your prices. If Groney sets the standards for the market it looks as if a lot of trappers will be disappointed.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I agree with Boco, he wouldn’t get any more. Then who will get it? Illinois coyotes.....who wants them? You guys, like Boco, that have high quality fur and tans a lot for selling to a craft or wallhanger market are not in the same category as the rest of us.

Gibb, I heard FHA wasn't holding anything this sale, that everything would be sold. Any truth to that? 3togo Thanks for posting.

Might be the last sale anywhere.....where would you get more? There is no market anywhere for fur at this date. Groenewold was pretty likely being as fair as he could, given the market condition today. If this low and discouraging price level is not enough, the only answer is not to sell. Hold it for next season and hope any market level developes. There is interest in Sables and high quality western cats, but I think that's it.
