I sent coon last year because there was not many options, Wiebke wasn't interested, Groney after hearing prices, I wasn't interested. I rolled the dice. We all decide what to do with our fur, you want to know who is responsible? Look in the mirror.

Exactly!

X3

What I find interesting is guys submit at the wagon window, convince themselves “dun good”.

Ship, goods move PT and whine like a 4 year old girl. How much worse could it b?

What kinda prices on what section coon are the private treaty sales bringing ? Are they sell mink much ?

Since the accounts are up dated on a computer it can be done anywhere. So saying the Rona is the cause does not float. Is there a reason why they don't up date peoples account? I guess they can do what ever they want, but I don't think they are helping themselves, by stalling and not letting people know what sold and at what levels. I would think that as stuff sells it has to loaded into a computer, so why not do it once and have everyone's account update. It's very poor business as I see it. I guess I can not see a reason for it.

Groney treated me pretty good on my rats and coyotes. I was just a few cents off of a $4.00 average on my rats and my WI coyotes averaged $30.00 I don't see me getting that kind of money from the auction this selling season. And you have to figure In your commission and a per pelt shipping charge.
I hope the auction goes well for those who have fur at FHA.

NAFA treated me good and I instantly knew what my fur sold for when the hammer dropped. It's to bad things went south for them. But It Is what It Is.

Well Nimzy are you sending all your rats to FHA?

You do realize that FHA is slowly being infiltrated by the ranch mink industry don’t you?

I should call up there and have Cheryl tell me how much wild fur I have left there. But it would be a lot easier if they would of just updated the accounts, of course. From last check I had a bunch of wild fur plus ranch fox sitting there and now will have thousands of ranch mink running through the facility. I hope there facilities can handle a large group of buyers when they do open up.

In my opinion, FHA should of held the April auction at a nafa facility in Wisconsin. It wouldn’t be the first time an auction moved do to a pandemic.

If that don't bankrupt them, nothing will.

I don't think the NAFA facility Is available. I know they sold the new facility to Second Harvest.

I remember a guy named uh I think Mark Downey who moved uh fur auction to Seattle due to the uh a sars problem in uh 2003.

I am not in the least concerned that I got a FHA check with little explanation. Since I have dealt with FHA for a long time I am familiar with how they do things. Private treaty sales are accounted for after the next auction. This year the different thing was they decided to get that money in trappers' pockets before the next auction. At least that's what they said and I have no reason to doubt them.

After April when accounts are updated i will find out what sold private treaty. I can wait.

I got a check for a little over $100, and I have 350 or so coon. Hope they didn't sell them all.

This is what has always been scuzzy to me!

Thanks for this BP

FHA has always had a rancher on their board of directors.

FHA will never move to the States,the FN directors would never allow that to happen.
They may partner globally from time to time when its to their advantage to sell fur.
The States,at least under Trump was not a place the world wanted to do buisness because of his protectionist policys.
That may change for you under the Biden admin. .

Boco, I'm not suggesting they move the business to the States. I'm suggesting they have a sale (at least this year) where buyers can attend ( or will ) like they have done in the past.


This IMHO would benefit FHA, Buyers, and shippers.

When something isn't logical, back up and look closer.
