Yessir. Feet on and all over 40” nose to skirt. A lot of 4 and a lot of 3 really pretty ones. Probably the only ones with Maryland Cites tags. Only if you get a chance sir. I always worry how they look after shipping. I sent some black rats this year too. Case skinned and then a few skinned open with tails on.

Were you able to put minimums on them? I only mention that because unfortunately our big otter buyer could not be here because of health concerns.

I’m concerned I didn’t protect myself enough on my minimums. Didn’t know he wasn’t here when I did the paperwork this morning.

Hopefully there’s other buyers….

That would be typical of my luck lol…

Found your otters mud. Very nice looking, some of the best there.

I Spoke with Rusty about our plight and he is going to text the buyer to see if he wants to on- line bid on yours and mine. Tentative deal for sure but we can hope.

Ever see a cat with a belly like this? Tag says it’s from Idaho

Thanks BP. Like I said I always worry about how they make it through shipping.

Had to downsize the pic, but looking real good. Nice sized too.

lol yeah that’s them. I had them separated into 2 lots. The red zips were my cleanest ones. Both lots were all 2x 40”+. Had one too big for the box. I’ve got 2 here over 46” nose to skirt now.

Beaverpeeler, appreciate you keeping us posted on things going on there at Glenns Ferry. Did you ever hear a final tally on the number of cats?

Carl - is that a crappy cat or a crappy photograph? Looks all blurry to me.

Mud - are your otter all in one lot or did they keep them separate by the colored twist ties? Just curious. Thanks.

The colored zip ties let you know they belong together. mud had two lots.

Look closely at the “ blurry” cat. It has a pure white belly.
……so maybe bleaching a cat to get a whiter belly not a good idea?

Looks like the sale is finally over. What a marathon! Bid reading took like 4 hours. I haven’t heard anything about prices. I bet it takes them a week or so to post averages.

Still waiting on a master list to print. Only no sale lots have been shagged.

I was told the sold goods wouldn’t be shagged until Monday morning. Of course, it is now “Monday morning” in southern idaho!! LOL

Yep, technically Monday morning lol. I got my furs right at 1 AM. I haven’t looked closely yet at lots but at a glance prices were higher than I expected.

For me these two pics kind of sum up the experience this weekend:

Lots of cats (and other fur)....


And lots of waiting....

what state issues red tags?

ITA's successes with sales the last couple of years have made for some painful growing pains. It was definitely too much fur for a one day sale. I'm sure Rusty and gang will adjust things in the future so that it runs a little smoother for everyone.

We were supposed to have it wrapped up by Sunday morning...I didn't head out the door until 11:30 at night and w/o a bid sheet to know how I did on my lots. I did get my no-sells and all that taken care of of course before leaving.

Hat's off to the gang of volunteers that worked their fanny's off trying to get everything done. Hope Rusty and the office gang get some well deserved rest soon.

Good on you for staying so late to help out, especially with your drive home. I'm sure Rusty and crew appreciated it. I almost feel bad shipping my small amount of fur down there now, knowing how busy this sale was.

LOL, I wasn't helping out...just waiting to get my no-sells back to me so I could get out of Dodge....
