Can someone explain to me the difference between GD SLT, SLT DGD, and GD DGD? Trying to get a feel for what I have. Local buyer is paying $15/lb for put up beaver. SLT and GD DGD are usually top grade hides with imperfections or damages. As you shuffle down the DGD grades, the damage is worse or into #2 grade hides.

Sniper, currently "gd dmg" is the lowest grade offered at FHA. This pelt graded "gd dmg" for me last spring:

BP deals with what I deal with somewhat.. tide. You can get em out away from the catch site but if it’s a tidal spot, that ain’t always enough. Whole tax ditches here can go dry on a blow out tide. Postmortem damage can sometimes be unavoidable.
April is autism awareness month. Nearly 1 in every 100 children are born with an autism spectrum disorder.. 1 in 100. Stop and think about it...please

That, and sometimes they just hang up on something and don't get deep. Since I'm using castor at mudpie spots invariably other beaver will get there before I do.

Can someone explain to me the difference between GD SLT, SLT DGD, and GD DGD? Trying to get a feel for what I have. Local buyer is paying $15/lb for put up beaver. Someone was asking about grades on FB and looks like FHA is updating their fur handling and grading terminology info.

I think Boco had mentioned earlier he was hearing that the higher end goods would advance and the hatter stuff cool off a little. That appears to be exactly what happened on this sale. The felt buyers not quite as desperate as last year, but the felt market helping to push up the shearable prices a little.
Last May i got $40 for my gd dmg blankets and only $46 for a hvy select blanket. On this sale it looks like the XXL-XXXL gd dmg were in the $29-33 range and select hvy blankets over $50

The report said all the higher end beaver went to the garment market. I guess they didnt want to lose out to the hatter market like they did last year. That looks good for any winter beaver trappers going forward.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I think slipping all those not hevi semi hevi hides into the gd damaged grade last year had the resulting drop in price this year for gd damaged.

I figured all along that the bean counters at those felt companies would make sure they weren't getting taken on the lightweight goods. Also figuring in the disproportionate buyer fees at FHA on lesser goods.
