Big Grey Wolf · #1 03-13-2023, 10:58 AM

Guys, the lots and grades of our fur are listed for March 22nd auction. Hope the Asians have brought some real $$ money with them to this first site auction since pandemic.

This is the first year I shipped to furharvester auctions. Is the lots and grades on their website?

One of my fisher graded Select this year, sure hope FHA do not give such a quality fur away for peanuts.

If it’s your first time sending to auction or logging into site you need to actually phone fur harvesters they’ll hook you up.

A nice surprise; a top lot weasel (long tail of course)
Hear valuations on rats; beavers at nice levels, Beaver 20-35 US for fall; spring blankets. Rats 4-6 for 1X and larger. Let’s hope buyers take the treble hook

Trappers need a bone … throw us one

I'm the past they have held selects over if asking price isn't reached.

Select Fisher did not sell but next best one went for $52, all but one marten went, best were $47, only one coyote unsold best went $50. Good clearances of pelts this year but $50 US top prices not much to get excited about.

can't make any $ like that cam

At least the coyotes sold but it's a tough pill to swallow when you watch select heavies that were almost 200$ 2 years ago sell for 50$. I know it is what it is but It still hurts.

TrapperRPR · #14 03-23-2023, 07:25 AM

I didn't have anything new this sale; just the unsolds from last year. Like others, my few coyotes cleared but only at mid 30s price. I even had a Select Heavy C that only brought $35. Only sold 8 of my 33 muskrats but the price was decent on those few at $7.60. My 8 squirrels sold for $1.50 each... not really helping with the retirement fund...lol.

All my #1 castor sold last year, but the #2 and #3 was held over for this sale. I don't have any listed as sold on my report yet and I didn't see castor listed in the order of sale. Does anyone know if castor moved at all?

I'm encouraged by the beaver price! I just dropped off 51 for the next sale, so hoping the price stays where it is or continues to climb

They normally use rate of Canadian $$ when they forward your check for your fur.

G_Godberson · #18 05-14-2023, 09:09 AM

Hearing that there may be a record amount of buyers at next FHA sale. Would continue the positive trend from last sale - which we all know is needed (and timely)

Will also help our trap supply businesses survive and ATA voice with government.

Who would have placed a bet on Beaver a year ago helping lead the way out of the funk we are in? Such is the fur market over the years- volatile; unpredictable and interesting!

Did ship a pretty nice Dec collection of Coyotes… perhaps we can retrace a little on this AB important fur bearer

Big Grey Wolf · #19 05-15-2023, 01:46 PM

The clearances of most fur were very high in last sale. I suspect a lot of buyers bidding for limited amount of pelts this next sale. We should get a nice boost in most prices, not just beaver.

I sure hope wild mink will skyrocket soon!

What's the scoop on muskrats Marty ? I sold a few coyotes but no top end stuff.
