It really pays to shop around although I know some guys just like to box it up and send it with the rest of their stuff to auction and be done for the year. They aren’t really concerned with the price they get.

For all the their fluff report in October the #2 grade goes unsold again. https://www.furharvesters.com/pdf/castoreumupdate_2023.pdf Anybody who knows would know that #2 grade is most of the offering.
