True that. But us "ever the eternal" optimists will take whatever we can get as we grasp for straws in today's fur market. LOL

What did the 3x good damage sell for Carl? Ironically I had none in the big size go section III this year. But Xl was 16.50.

I only sold castor and pelts here but every beaver averaged out a few pennies under 30 for me. Considering I did about all out of a kayak here, it was the right choice for me this year considering the market.

Fair amount of interest in the skunks. Nothing gang busters at the moment. But that will probably change once it gets closer to selling time tomorrow.

Mud, apparently the whole string of blanket gd dmg went for $19. I had 22 in two different lots all @$19. XL gd dmg went for $16.50 Even the LM gd dmg went for $10.00

So far looks like I sold 6/6 beavers for $19 avg and 1/20 coyotes for 24$. Going to have to take up beaver trapping instead of coyotes lol

Yeah I glanced at mine earlier and saw section III jumped a fair percentage. Some section III sold higher than the Slt Dgd in the regular strings in the same size.

I think lg Md went 10 and mediums were 6.50 now that I’m looking

Yeah Mud, I misquoted. You're right...the LM gd dmg went for $10 Quite an increase from last sale.

Are those beaver prices before commission and other deductions?

Yes. Prices posted are hammer price.

Guessing mink didnt sell, nothing updated there

On wild mink - 3 lots out of 130 or so lots sold. A total of 110 skins.

Inventory to start next season.

They onto lynx yet?

What's going on with beaver? Noticed back in Feb.at a state sale junky southern beaver were bringing what they did 20 years ago. Mink only 2 bucks so no shocker no interest in them. Just curious who is all of a sudden using beaver again?

I had 3 3xl-2xl select hvy rats sell fo $7.00. Those are the only ones listed as sold on mly lotting slate. Does anyone know if other sizes and grades of rats sold or not?

The first string of rats sold straight through at $7.00. The one lot of black rats sold at $7.00. Plus one other small string. That is all that sold during the sale. Not sure what is going on PT.

Sounds like BOHICA to me with the muskrats.

I guess one could surmise that there is a "fairly" poor fur market right now when most of the posts on this thread are talking about an international sale and discussing 150 wolverenes and 2,000 skunks!
As strange as it may sound in a market like this I am sur glad I am a producer and not a buyer, broker, tanner, garment maker or retailer.

bblwi- I also had a few of the 3X-2X Select Heavy @ &7.00. Also had another lot of muskrat sell @ $5.00

Thank God for beaver

Yep! And Thank God I have some beaver to trap for this coming season!
