FHA says they're getting a lot of increased interest and are currently sold out. They published an update yesterday.

Excellent

That's surprising.

I wonder how many ranch mink will hit this years market.

good news,

Good to hear.

Talked with a mink rancher yesterday as they were pelting a few hundred females. He said there is strong interest in Blues and Blacks. Fur buyer called and said to get after the wild mink as there is a good demand, didn't give me a price though.

My some what educated guess 10-15 dollars for males and half for females. I guess it’s up to the individual if that’s a good market in 2025? Even in small town USA that hardly buys lunch. But it is an improvement.

That would be great

Twenty bucks tops give or take at the auctions and $12 ish through the rat wagon isn't a hot mink market. Reminds me when coon were $4 and people said trap coon the market is now $6-7. Please!

True, but sitting at home ain't going to make prices any better. So might as well enjoy a little increase while it lasts.

How many years did it take to get sold out?

A quick perusal of the March of 2025 sale showed 100% clearance with levels of $20- $24 with Italy being the big player.

I see $10.45 to $12. US dollars. ?

My mistake, I was looking at the March 2024 results, not March 2025.

The good news they had a pretty good sell off 3/25.

Just heard about this today too. Local buyer wants mink.

How are mink numbers looking out your way K?

Sounds like Groenwold is thinking 12 tops on mink so the rise of the mink market may have been greatly exaggerated. LOL

I sell to fur Harvesters got 18 last spring tops on males females brought 8.50 to 10
