Any New York Trappers attend yesterday's
Wild Fur Auction in Herkimer, N.Y. ?

Heard through the Grapevine that prices were
fairly reasonable for the current fur market.

Can anyone that attended confirm how things went.

I heard that were no bids on the first weeks rats as they supposedly aren't prime enough.....

Ha Ha Ha ! laugh

Sorry,

Most of the rats sold were fall caught.

There were no No-sales according to my sources.

How about that Bitcoin, though ? laugh

Doing better than rat prices, that is for sure.

I've been hearing a rumor about upward movement in rat prices.

My source tells me the rat average at this auction
was in the $4.00+ range with the top being $6.00+

There are rumors of a short catch here in New York.

Allegedly around 500 rats sold at this auction.

Everyone's prices were kept private by them and the buyer and I didn't have time to discuss pricing with people. I was busy helping carry unsold fur in, sold fur out, and tending to other issues. My fur was bagged and sent with buyer at the end of the day for a check that will be sent later. I didn't hear anyone complain and I know several said they were happy with prices. I do know 1 guy that said his average was around $10 on green beaver, unsure of the mix. Another said his high was $15 on green beaver.

No BOCO,

I didn't have a single item of fur to sell
except for one lonely buck mink.

I wasn't driving two hours for that.

Waiting for spring breakup to trap
rats, beaver, and otter.

Just our place. He bought fur solid from before 8 into a little after 3. People waiting in their vehicles at times. I'm trying to get him to make a handful of stops around the state.
