SAGA fur facility in Stoughton makes State Journal

Interresting Thanks for posting

Thanks for posting.

Good read- the Microfiche formatting was my favorite part- that took some effort

Well, come to find out Arnie was quite the ladies man back in the day, eh?

Had time while enjoying good food and fellowship at the Unique Cafe this morning. Sometimes a link to a newspaper article becomes a pain to retrieve and the ads drive one crazy. Thought it worth sharing.

Will be interesting reading the onslaught of letters to the editor this week. Should bring the antis out of their cages for awhile anyway.

Well done Rat



We were hauling 3 loads of Tabaco down there the other day so I just went across the road and talked to the people at Saga. Pretty much the same office staff and of coarse they didn't know anything about NAFA. But they did say they were sending everyone to FHA when asked about wild fur.
They said that Brian McMillan took an early retirement when NAFA closed the doors.

Well done Muskrat! Thanks for sharing that.

Great educational article hate to see the news about the industry struggling and NAFA going down. It is just an encouragement for the antis to strike hard they smell blood I will guarantee that.

you beat me to it , I was going to post the online article however

Better yet! Extra pics. Thanks.

"When he was a kid in Oconomowoc, trapping seemed like a romantic pursuit — and a way to make some cash, said Arnold Groehler, president of the Wisconsin Trappers Association.

A mink pelt in those days was worth about $20. Groehler, 62, said he and his friends would dab a little of the animal’s musk on themselves before heading to school, “so all the girls knew we were worth at least $20.”

Ain't that precious. Arnie, the Don Juan of the Oconomowoc school district back in the 60s.

Looks like some pretty good reporting.

Muskrat musk would be more “desirable “

But they always said mink smells like money!

Nice read thanks for sharing

Thanks!

Awesome link and pictures. Makes me kinda sad that a European auction house has taken over the facility.

Thanks for sharing that Muskrat!

Good article.
No end in sight for coyote trimmed parkas.
Absolutely everywhere.

Boco you must be in the big city to see non stop coyote trim.

Toronto-cold and snowy. Every direction you look downtown you see 15 or 20 coyote trimmed hoods,and a few crappy fake fur ones all day
and all night long.
