Doubt one would see any negatives if prices move higher, probably just my self wondering why if there is no public demand ? Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

I'll bet it was less than what you realized. 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. Congratulations NRA and NTA Life Member www.BackroadsRevised@etsy.com

I've never understood why so many trappers complain about "rich folks" making "too much money". I takes some high rollers to create a market for high dollar cats or any other fur to be profitable. It ain't your Cousin Eddie driving 1000+ cat prices.
