Default Looking for Fur Grading Videos

Does anyone know of any fur grading videos or DVD's put out by NAFA or anyone else, that explains the fur grading process for coyotes?

I've been searching youtube and doing google searches to see if any exist but I'm not having much luck finding anything of value specifically for coyotes. I'm going to have a look on trapping supply sites to see what I can find. I found one for marten that may be of value to someone and a similar type for coyote would be great.

I have posted this here before. It has a section explaining coyote fur grading.
An older document but still applicable. Written by a fur grader explaining everything to consider for all furs. Hope it helps a bit.

Dave,I video from NAFA on the handling and grading of muskrats. I know it is not coyotes but if you don't have it? I found the video very useful.
They may still have some and they only cost the price of shipping and handling to members.

It sounds like you are referring to "Muskrats: From the Marsh to Main Street". I picked it up from the ATA awhile back when I turned in my Fall rats. Yes, it's a great video about the NAFA process for muskrats and I'd love to find the same type for coyotes.

Here is a 4 DVD set titled, "Professional Fur Handling" that I'm on the hunt for. I believe that it was produced by NAFA. I found it on the Wisconsin Trappers Association website but unfortunately they do not ship to Canada. It's listed for $20 on their site and so far I've found it at one online trapping supply site for $39.99. If anyone knows where I can pick the dvd up without getting hosed, I'd appreciate it.
