Maybe he did...and his competition gave up after Arkansas

Not too far fetched really. Goldberg out west used to do a version of that.

We see those fairly frequently out west, but usually over high-priced cats.

If I'm not mistaken that's where the other buyer was from. If the offering is short who knows.....

MS is this weekend but Groenewold won’t be there from what I was told. I emailed Groenewold and was told they’re paying $30 tops for green beaver on their routes. A local buyer was paying $10 “for the big ones” when I asked so I’ll be curious to see what happens at the auction. Wish I could attend but I’ll be on duty at the firehouse and taking EMT refresher.

I can’t imagine Lewing (Groenewolds buyer) not being at the MS sale. He or his wife always goes there.
Unless he thinks he’ll have to pay out the nose again lol.

Ms turned into a junk sale years ago, dog chewed coon hides, rotten crap, lot of nasty stuff passed through there so keep that in mind once the sale is over and you look at the average's. Top price's are for just that well put up fur but the amount of junk will have the ave. down every time on that sale. I even seen otter's stretched and dried OPEN back when they were high priced at that sale! lol.


Not my circus, not my clowns.

No actual results but Mr. Ronnie said some of them went $10. Said he had an order to fill when he was in Arkansas
