LOL. LOL. UTA results were posted much earlier than I anticipated (Uh-Oh). GOOD JOB UTA! So the results caught me off guard because the winner obviously made his "guess" with insider knowledge. Wallfur "guessed" $5,631.40. The total for my 8 cats was $5,631.44!!! While it doesn't seem fair to others to give the prize to Wallfur, he did not break the rules as I laid them out! So I am sending a pussytoes bobble to Wallfur (well played - you cheater LOL) and also one to the REAL WINNER - Crappiekiller the closest guess of $4,350 - Congratulations.

My average for the 8 cats was $668.93. This average was really brought down by female #5 ($60.44) which had bare patches around the nipples. The average for the other 7 without her is $796. I haven't seen averages for the sale but obviously the bobcat market is very strong this year!!! I am very surprised and pleased.

Crappiekiller and Wallfur send me a PM with your addresses Please.

And thanks for playing everyone.

Interesting bids. Most of the major cat buyers bid with cents at the end of their bid amount. If you find out the buyer would be curious to know who it was if you are willing to post it.

Slick thats always been the case, it's kinda showman ship thing, I've seen the same numbers since years back on the same family or business buying fur.

Not difficult to know who buys what lot really, it's usually announced when the winning bid is read

It's interesting to me that cats are that high really, not saying anything about Dan's work here or anything of that matter, seen and handled his work it's impeccable, and hopefully buy from him again. Just that never had seen or read of any up's on them or reasons for taking them this year, our Utah cats are comparable to any western state here and we have some great cats !!

Just have to say congrats and you hit it right this year, it's to bad the DWR mess's with the tag limit every year though !!

Doubled my guess, that's awesome. The fur market could use a few bright spots

Dan, let's hear what your own guess was. Care to share? I'll bet it was less than what you realized.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Nice payday.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

My point is there is no cents added on except for lot 1268. Since I was not there I would have no idea who bought the cats. I would like to know because it could effect the price moving forward if there is an outside buyer different than normal.

I was guessing around 3700 - 4,000 based on what my cats brought last year and taking into account the titbelly female. But you never know what the market demand looks like until this Utah sale each year. So I was surprised and pleased.

I want everyone to know Wallfur declined the prize because of insider knowledge. He is quite the gentleman for being such a cheater, and we had a good laugh over it:)
