Any thoughts on what coon prices might run this year?
Especially in Missouri?
Looks like we are going to have a bunch again - would like to make a little money for a change.

Probably gonna be worth nothing down here

How long after the oil prices spiked in 2008 was the little boom? Was it 2011 when that started?

Nothing to base this on other than my opinion. But chinoa and Russia have been our buyers typically. So I would guess p there won't be much demand.

according to Trevor barns, they will be worth keeping 10-15 i believe is what he said at the Michigan convention down state

I'm hearing there is a little more demand for good coon. Not going to be a boom by any means, but things may be looking up a little.

Iowa coons will be bought that for sure

The FHA fur report tonight at the council meeting indicated coon will continue its incremental increases like over the last several years.

Sent coons up for the March sale this year and this what they sold for, AVERAGE: 10.10, SOLD: 50, UNSOLD: 0, SUBTOTAL: 505.00, HIGH: 21.00, LOW: 3.00 . Can only wait and see what coons sell for next auction, to know what they are worth.

That’s an important number.

Would be nice if Ukraine & Russia settled down, but don’t hold your breath.
Guy at GFW says to get out there and trap everything. Prime is better, but get out when you can. Same old same old……lol

Round here it would cost more to drive them to a fur buyer than theyre worth.

they shouldnt even have to worry about fur prices had a friend trap coon for a farmer and the farmer checked the traps caught 89 in 5 days read how much coon ate in a year figured he saved him 3;000 dollars after paying him 15 dollars apiece farmers will spend big money for bigger yields like seed fertilizer and equipment but animal controll your suppose to pay the farmer

Thats the way its been here. Not worth skinning.
Not great quality coon - even though they eat plenty of turkey an quail eggs.

Maybe one in ten coon here are worthy of looking at
Most look like theyre crossed with a mangy orange coyote.

Unless the grade of southern Michigan coon has drastically improved in recent years I can’t picture them being worth keeping for the most part. We do have a percentage of nice heavy ones that would be worth sorting out but the average coon not so much

He said 6 to 9 dollars average dry with small sizes out.

I’d be ok with a 10-15 dollar average for finished coon.

So I’m looking at a nickel increase down here? 55 cents compared to 50 cents?

Since they killed the penny, you should be lucky to get a nickel, haha.
