This afternoon I took a quick look at the 65 cats. Most looked good but none had spotted white bellies wide enough to qualify as NAFA top lot as far as I could tell.

Idaho Fur, Rocky Mountain, Wyoming Fur(obviously), Fort Benton, Western Montana, Bruce Bartow, J & M, ALCC, and others I don't recall off the top of my head. Top cat was in the 900s average closer to 300. Coyotes average probably around 60 but lots of lots 90-100+ average. Marten around 30. Fox 20ish. Rats were better around 3-3.50. Coon mostly around 7 average. Beaver around 10 average. These are just numbers I was hitting on the calculator as bids were read off. I'd assume official averages later this week.

Yes, good A belly cats did well
B belly cats struggled. Huge gap in price between the two

There was a lot of heavy cats at the sale but many were B bellies or worse. Nothing a trapper can do about that

Top coyotes were 112 and change I believe
Western Montana and J&M bought many coyotes with American hide and fur also buying some

Marten were mostly bought by Idaho fur

Porky hair was mostly bought by fort Benton

Cats were bought by many buyers competing

Fox were mostly eagle rock

Rats bought by alcc and Idaho fur the best I could tell

That's what I recall

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the information a great review of the day.

Thanks Nick. I sure hope those prices hold until March. It might be hard to talk myself into going to Rupert with the ITA sale just an hour away.

It's like going to Vegas it's always a gamble some years.
To be or not to be ????

Any truth to a lot of coyotes were no sale. Heard over 500 were pulled from the sale because of low offers.

interesting news

I'll look at my notes but no I do not believe that to be true

There was a lot or 2 that no saled on a 70 some avg but I don't believe 500 no saled
2 buyers alone must've bought 1000 of the 12-1300

Is there any official averages and tops out there at this time?
Just wondering

Nothing yet on their web site. I imagine it will be a couple of days before they get all the numbers crunched.

Ok thank you

results are on the USRT site,listing them here always comes out funny so here is a link.
coyotes and castor did well.

Thank you

Thanks for posting the info. Yotes did well.

Looks like the talk of a lot of unsold coyotes was just that, talk.

According to their numbers, 26 coyotes did not sell. That is about 2%.

About a 15.00 average more on coyotes than last year very nice.

The unsold lots were at the ITA sale, they brought them to blackfoot and sold.

usrt and Idaho trappers will also have sales in march.
