I hope they are dropping c-notes American for Section 1 heavies. Otherwise, not good.

Agreed very few have seen a good western up close.

It seems like there was a heavy western in that pile. Coyotes and fox are from a sale in Malta MT about 1983.

2 B notes per dawg is more like it.
Canadian hundreds are name after Borden

Groenwold would be stupid not to take advantage ,If you don't like the price pick up your fur and go. You never had that option at NAFA

You are wrong on the NAFA statement. Any dealer with a dealer lot could put selling limits on their fur.

I am sure this very true , long time nafa shipper, I have 90 coon an probly 40-50 rats I am going try sell next weekend to him when area. All finish, coon on wood. Lot big coon, have lots more in freezer. Beavers, 30 plus mink, more rats an coon, a otter. Hopefully send that an what else catch to fur harvesters, never try them,what can guy expect on good finish coon from my area? If not like offer. I load up go to another buyer,

Big, finished coon from your part of the state are about as good as it gets. Let us know how you do.

So what is groenwold breakdown on finish coon from this area ? Yes I thinking later auction. Could do better but cash when need it, no more nafa advances. Fur harvesters don't get into them

I agree ,I was talking trappers that shipped

Historically groney's prices drop later In the season as the fur becomes prime. Most likely he has filed his orders and Is know buying on speculation. So your better off selling as soon as you can.

I'm heading to a groney stop tonight, I don't have any fur but a few of my friends do.

Beav you going to the Burlington stop?

Post some numbers if you would Beav. It will be greatly appreciated.

Nope the Evansville stop. I'll post what I can.

I have not followed this thread but it looks like people are posting their Groeny offers,
so heres what I can contribute from my deal with them, 2 hours ago.......

Unable to sell (or give away) my last 11 beaver skins + 3 deer skins, I decided to take
them to the rat wagon for the first time, ever. I have shipped to them a few times over
the years, usually with late-spring catches, and always been very happy with their
first offer. I love haggling but it just hasnt been needed when I shipped.

So today I prepped by calculating the minimum offer I'd accept. I "graded" my green
beaver at three levels- $10, $8 and $5, based on what I've been reading over the
past month. $10 was for ~35lb beaver, $5 was for kits. My total came to $87.00
I also wanted to bring 2 pairs of deer skin gloves home, for the 3 hides I had for trade.

Groeny's offer was $102 for the beaver and 2 pairs of gloves, so again I didnt haggle.

Nice experience, I'll use them as a final outlet again, in the future.

$8.00 to around $10.00 averages about what the going rate Is. It looks like you did Ok.

Were your beavers put up or green?

He posted they were green.

Just got back from the wagon. Pretty poor avgs and as embarrassing as they are I am still going to post them . All fur was put up and done correctly . Rats were all early falls at $2.82 avg . Early fall beavers $9.22avg.Mink $2 and coon $4 . Coon were not the greatest, beaver were mostly big ones and with the rats I put up everything caught including the tiny , half eaten by mink ones and a few tiny/smalls that the boy ripped during skinning

Missed that. Not a bad price for the beaver.
