Sept nafa
 

With the next auction coming fast, when should we expect to get confirmation of our furs and their gradings? Thought I would have heard by now!

I just took 214 rats and 7 beavers in today. Told them to hold the rats for the Feb sale and sell the beavers to anyone that will take them whenever lol Got room to start putting some bait in the freezer now. I think all I have for this Sept sale will be the left over beaver that did not sell last couple auctions. It would be nice to get them sold but I am not holding my breath. Good luck to anyone with fur in this sale.

I'm in the same boat nube. Beaver at nafa waiting for a home. I think I will send beaver to FHA next year.

I would send my Beaver to FHA as well but Halford Hide only sends to NAFA and west lock is a big far to drive for a $10 sale on my beaver lol I might be in the negative after filling the car with gas lol

Hahaha I agree totally nice thing is I take mine to Marty in hays and there is an FHA dealer in Lethbridge. I either go 3 hour to Edmonton or 2.5 to Lethbridge for nafa.

Anyone have an answer to my question ?

It's the same as all sales. You should know a couple days before the sale. three or four days before or depending on how many furs there are to grade.

Ok thanks

I talked to them yesterday and the lotting letters should be out by the middle of next week latest they said.

prices look good for coyotes in fur fish n game magazine 80$ i have 14 yotes and a fox in the sale

Lot letters are up
 

Lot letters are up!

I see that and for some reason I have 8 muskrats in there that I don't know how they got there. The good part is that 7 of the 8 are all I* so they will be top dollar. I also havve one weasel and 7 beavs. I sent in 214 more rats and another 7 or 8 beaver last week for the Feb sale. I hope rats and coyotes hold as good as they have been

What does the * LABELED SKINS mean next to the grade?

Means it is the skin that they put a label on to show the buyers what kind of fur they are buying (showing them that skin to let them know the quality of the lot)

Well my boys must be doing something right as they have fur in 8 different lots marked with an *,
*I and *SEL

Yup for sure they are. Good animals and taken care of real well and it works out. Now just hope they sell for top $$

Ya not bad for 12 & 14 year old kids first year of trapping, they put up 274 rats. With some supervision from dad and grandpa of course, but they did the majority of the work! All the skinning and fleshing.

I'm betting Dad was helping and Grandpa was supervising :snapoutofit:.. LOL ..Good luck on the sale bud .

Out of my 35 furs sent into nafa only 1 is in this sale. My lone coyote!! Was hoping to buy some more leg holds with my fur cheque, but 1 skin won't go far !
