Do the felters need to know how much fur every beaver has if they are buying them all as lights? Any semi's and heavies are just a bonus. It is not really that complex.

Its why you can never realize the true value of good fur outside the auction. If poor fur is intersorted with good fur it all sells low. Its why trappers started their own auction house to begin with.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

South it might be a bonus.
As long as this hatter market continues to generate the primary beaver demand...then northern heavy beavers will seem to be very undervalued.
But, when the hatter drops....even those northern heavies will be de-valued.

I didn't have the luxury of watching all of the grading but heard tell that two buyers brought scales. Neither one of the two bought my beaver. George Kortum bought my beaver.
The reason the collectors care is the felters have signed contracts with them based on poundage, not sizes or grades.
If these collectors have contracts with the filters based on poundage, they should be heading south and loading up on the thick skinned buggers.

I’m still trying to track down that video. Might email FHA. There’s a fella out east that has one in VHS but can’t find it.

Was it part of the WFSC video?
Yes.

So the guy that bought your beaver bid higher than the two that weighed them?

That is a good one but neither one is the one I am referring too It is the one where Phil Patterson talks about the hatter beaver.and what the felters require.

As you know George is the largest fur buyer in the west. I knew he would be the one who bought your beaver. George does not need a scale. Probably one of the most experienced buyers to ever live. Anyone using a scale is an amature.
