Ugly belly on the cat on the left. The other 4 aren’t half bad.

I've actually been surprised to get decent money on some of the casty belly ones from time to time.

I am wondering if someone gets a free cat paw if the winner guesses your total?

They look great enough for my hat work, have to see what they give you on them ! Maybe deal next year !!

I really need some cats, can't sell hats if you don't have the fur, but cats take a lot of dollars even
when not selling well, compared to other furs !!

I'm planning to put a kind of high asking price on them since a couple of the better cat buyers won't be at Prineville. I can take them to K. Falls three weeks later and hope the buyers are there if it works out that way. Of course I know these aren't the kind of cats that make the big money, but last year I averaged $172. Wouldn't hurt my feelings to be in that neighborhood, or maybe a mite better this year.

Like others have said some cats just don't do that well but I sure love catchin em.
I hope the offers are better than you expect they have obviously been handled right.

Not doing Idaho? beaver prices are down but there may be a bunch of cats there so should attract some buyers.

Good handling.

Glenn’s Ferry is over 500 miles from where I live so I’m selling in my local OTC sales. George Kortum will not be in Prineville so that certainly casts a little bit of gloom over proceedings.

If they don’t get decent offers in Prineville 3 weeks later there is Klamath Falls. Last cat sale of the season should have the right buyers.

they don't look half bad

Thanks. They don’t have the nice white bellies but they do have dense fur. January caught all of them.

Back in the nineties, when Ohio reintroduced bobcats, they should of used the best looking cats from out West, with nice white bellies and clear spots. We should get a bobcat season pretty soon. Better fur genetics would have made bobcats in Ohio much more valuable than the brownish, blurry spottec cats they chose to reintroduce.

otter, beaver usually do ok in Prineville. I believe there are some smaller craft type buyers and less competition from sellers so may be the best move
