Fur Sale Report
Our annual fur sale was held on January 29, 2011. We didn’t have any record volumes of fur. Prices were definitely up and trappers present were quite satisfied.
Thank you to all who chipped in and got the necessary work done. Thanks, also, to Kenn Johnson and his family for providing the food concession. They were over the top this year.
Following are the sale results. Averages include all lots of each species. Well handled, seasonally caught furs always bring the most money and those lots brought up to 25% above average. Learn to handle fur properly and you’ll get a bigger pay check.
