Sold some ‘rats today

So, since I live 2000 miles away from groeny (even though he rocks!), I sold about 350 ‘rats to a country buyer here in eastern Washington. I was happy with the average and thought I was treated most fairly. If Hicks Creek Fur comes through your area buying fur, you will want to do business with Doug. Stand up guy.

Way to go.

Looks like a good price!

Nice ! Still think you should be called Rat Daddy though ! You going to the spring rendezvous on the 14th?

And the good average is.

Averaged $3.60. It’s nice to bring your fur to a buyer and leave 30 minutes later with a check. As a man who loves to trap for the love of trapping, the fact that we still have willing buyers in the country, should not be taken for granted.

How I always sold mine.

Congratulations! Good Job!

That's not at all bad for those sand 'rats you have over there; sorry, couldn't resist the dig. I wish I could remember the guy's name over there I used to buy lots of rat's from in the late 70's, but when I compared them with the west side "Fraser Valley rats" it was like comparing Montana coyotes with western Washington coyotes.
Just curious; are you mainly using colony traps or some other such device?

Colony traps exclusively!

Country buyers are a big plus in our industry not all of us like to the play auction casino.

I have a couple hundred for the March sale at FHA. Your $3.60 average is encouraging that an already low rat market has not fallen much as of late.
