We are buying porcupine hair these days.
Just the guard hair, 5" plus. Want good winter hair. Stop harvesting in mid-March. White-ish hair not wanted.
Would take whole porkies if not too far a drive and making a trip, but only til Feb 24. But hair is very nice, you can mail to us.
But hair is easy, very good project for your kids. My daughters plucked 30 pigs a winter and made good money at it, like $1000 a winter, takes 1/2 hour per pig, helped them buy their trucks later, and the ranchers really appreciate the service! Helps with rubber gloves for grip, can help the process to warm the pigs up in a heated building for a few days.
5" plus, no wool/fuzz like pull it out of your hair while making your bundle. PM for price if you interested. Average porky yields 1 oz+, most just over, some monsters up to 2 oz. So it pays to let the lill fellers grow altho some of the little ones have crazy long hair, like 12".
If selling whole, please hang/freeze out of sun. I'd be interested in porky rumps+tail skins too if someone wants to do some extra skinning but adult porky rumps only. Like skin porky tail and back end, cut straight across, want heavy quills not fine quills from front half, then please salt and pin to dry. Id need whole before Feb 26
