Is that for the rats you have up there for the last 5 years?Are they graded stale now?
I thought you sold to groeny.

It's my fall & winter skunks along with some bug dust rats
up to 4 years old, that were the best graded rats I had
up there in Mark Downey FHA purgatory !!! laugh

Groeny Rocks but never pays very well for rats, lately.

I expect Downey will fire sale my best rats in a PT debacle,
before & after the upcoming June Auction.

Yup I’m mostly pleased with grades. A few beaver graded a size under what I thought they might. Despite selling a fair number of black rats privately almost half the ones I sent for the auction still graded black and a good number of what’s offered again are mine.


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

My Bobcat/Lynx I caught was written down as a Bobcat when I dropped it off and now it’s graded as a Lynx lol. Good thing the Lynx prices have been good.

My immediate reaction looking at coon grades is I should have sold to Groeny. Cherry picked golden triangle coon makes you wonder who grades?Luckly my expectations were very low. LOL Hope everyone has a good sale!

Is lynx open where you are?
If not the CO might think you trying to pull a fast one marking it as a bob.

Lol yes Lynx is open here. And I can’t imagine a CO looking at every piece of fur being sent in to auction. Also it was Fur Harvesters worker that mark down the fur as I bring in directly to them.

If fur says tag graded but not cataloged yet, will it still be on the sale?

Relax on the "tag graded not cataloged" yet. Happens and gets straightened out.

Jurassic - few years ago was talking to rep from FHA re: Bobcat / Lynx interbreeding in Manitoba. He described animals that had to be mixed, like long Lynx legs but small bobcat type feet etc. They were taken in SE Manitoba near Minnesota border. May explain confusion of what the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) it is.. ha
