Just returned home from today's Herkimer Auction & can announce that the current prices that the buyers were willing to pay for a pound of castor today is between $23.00 to $26.50 a pound for dried castor. Wet, or frozen castor was offered at $18.00 a pound. I watched nine (9) lots offered for sale while I was there of which 5 were no-saled. Lots were #4lbs, #4.5lbs, #4.5lbs, #7.25lbs, #8.25lbs, #8.25lbs, #15.25lbs, #15.5lbs & #18lbs. I left around 11:00AM and there were plenty of lots of castor left to be auctioned. There were only 3 buyers bidding on the castor out of around 10 buyers present. w Last edited by walleyed; 04/13/24 03:36 PM. "Provisional/Interim" member of NYS Trappers Association Jefferson Co.

My shrinkage was 18% and all my #3 and #1 sold. However, on three association sales (ITA Glenns Ferry, OTC Prineville, OTC Klamath Falls), I had zero shrinkage, 6% commission, and before commission taken out averaged a shade over $40/lb. .....And importantly for me, have that money in hand.

I figure I did better at FHA, but I did not send my this past season castor, it’s in the freezer. If the market crashes I can always make bourbon out of it, use some for lure, or put some in my raspberry preserves. LOL
