Starting to look like maybe they didn't sell the castor. It usually gets sold a few days after the end of a regular sale ....we're almost mid July now.

I've been checking almost every day. I can't imagine castor not selling even if it's at low price.

The castor market is down from last season. Maybe FHA is asking last season’s price and the buyers are saying no. Will see what happens.

maybe they are on Rogers and their internet is still down since last Friday with 8 million other people


Canadian dollar is posted at the same time as castor and that is still on hold.

I heard tell of people selling castor at $90 as late as the first of April of this year. Nice little rebound at the end after we had been hearing all season long that castor was down.

I think it was the lure makers that kept saying castor was down. Lot’s of guys talking$60 castor and if anyone sold for that they left money on the table. I don’t think auction is the best market for Castor.

Yup…heard there internet was down for 24 hours in Canada

I still sell dried castor for $8 50 an ounce.
Im starting to expand my local medicinal market.

What use does castor have in medicinal use? I’ve never heard of that, but then there’s a lot of things I don’t know.

Mix it with snake oil

Skunk essence is also used medicinally by indigenous folks in certain areas of Canada.

Is that for hard dried and powdered castor?

I think Koisoi over in Siberia was selling his castor there for medicinal as well. I can't remember exactly how much, but at least double or triple what we've been getting.

Here skunk fat and bear fat is highly prized medicine.

No,the medicine people use it in different form,they prefer to get it just dry on the outside.Leathery feel but not "wet" - same as selling at auction.
They will dry some hard themselves and powder it for certain uses.One use for castoreum llocally is for healing injuries that are difficult to heal otherwise,also for healing footsores or bedsores due to diabetes.It is applied as a poultice.Not sure of the exact procedure,but I should find out.
Castoreum is also taken internally for various ailments.

I know a guy who gets $100.00 a gallon for rendered down skunk fat. Well he say's he does.

Hey Boco....here in the states, people are paid 500.00 to take a dump in a box...and send it to a cancer research lab. I know a couple people that send 2 dump loads a week. 1,000 per week ! ...AND I AM SERIOUS....look it up. It’s a bettah price than castor

I can only find one outfit that buys poop. Only $75 per dump and you have to be younger than 50!

Oh Crap!

This study is 30 and younger…must be in good shape…to get the 500.00 load.
