$5 basis? I would like to see FHA sell out on the first sale, that would at least show some interest. Hopefully closer to 5 dollar averages. Fur is moving to China now prices need to increase.

I have some info on the rat market and It's from a good source. Rats could reach the $5.00 mark sometime this year. So don't sell cheap.
$5 averages? Trevor buys some rats here, but not a lot. This isn’t super rat country. He buys a lot of beaver, otter, and cats here in today’s market.

I don’t have any rats, but I’d love to see $5 rats. I’m pretty skeptical of that though. Real skeptical honestly. A $4 average would bring a LOT of rats out of freezers.
I trap for fun. I skin 'em for the money!

Just talked to a trapper that has sold his rats.
3X $6.00
2X $5.00
XL $4.00
M $2.00
I don't know for sure, but I heard that FHA is holding back their rats till the later sale.
I can't divulge the buyer or the trapper.

I wouldn’t know why, after all it only takes a few minutes to NO SALE a hundred thousand rats. Arguably, This thing capitulated years ago when we couldn’t even get a bid. As stated before it can’t get much worse. I will admit, it would be exciting to see some interest

I don't understand why Downey won't just ask the buyers what the rats are worth. He can only say no. I have rats there going on 5 years,3X/2X good quality. The slights sold first thing. I spoke with the person who purchased them, he said they buy a good 3X rat for $2.50 and ship to Vietnam ,repair for 0.25 verses paying $6 for a good 3X.

Does anyone know if Trevor is coming to the MS fur auction this year?
