Anyone else having problems with the new NAFA site this morning? Keeps coming up with an error message.

Was doin the same thing last night ..did get to see my lil shipment arrived tho

[HunterDave]

I just checked and the grades for my beaver and red fox are posted......no link to the catalogue though. My coyote and muskrat aren't showing yet.

[kingrat]

Well for the first time in 20 years I've got 4 3xl beavers that graded eastern, every year I ship anywhere from 50 to 100 beavers and never had a eastern grade yet. Pretty cool anyway.

[HunterDave]

I have two Eastern Beaver as well......#911 and #112. One is a Black 3XL one that I put in that graded XD-DK for colour. I wonder if that had to do with it. The other was a LGE BR.

Top Lots are all *I for LGE to 3XL.

[APAShooter]

Nafa said later today or tomorrow for the Coyote catalog/lotting letters... man i hate the waiting :waiting4:

Yup, then we have to wait to see what the auction brings. :lol:

[kingrat]

I never even looked at the smaller ones turns out I've got 3 lrge in eastern as well dave 2 In lot 108 and 1 in 111.
My bears all graded good as well, I cant wait for coyotes.

[Saskabush]

NAFA coyote grades are posted. Good luck all!

[kingrat]

Not many #1 in the catalog this year. Little different grading than last year. Just about nothing but #2 in the catalog. My best one is lot #794 it's a select br or dk br cant remember.

[Saskabush]

I’m a happy camper. Looks to be one of the better batches of coyotes I’ve shipped. The move to only snaring pale southern yotes appears to be paying off.

Best one appears to be lot 131602 XL-LGE *SEL PL 1-2. Closest i’ve got to top lot.

Quick question. I have two lot 190001 and 190003. Are these just the display lots?

[Beavershmever]

I have one in 190002. I think that's why they post them Saturday morning. Guys won't have to phone hot.

[MSparks]

Anyone have theres sold as sample lot my pale coyote sold before auction and was shipped to italy on Wednesday? 4 sel 1 mink 3 coyotes .the one isnt in a lot i can find that sold

[HunterDave]

Looks like Marty was right about fewer coyotes in this sale. Only 51679 by my count and the preliminary report was for 70000. Hopefully fewer pelts = higher prices. :)

[rbsask]

Have 1 in 190001 don’t know what’s going on there. 1-11 med 1-2
Overall fairly happy with the grades not as good as last year but knew that going in.

[kingrat]

I think that's when a buyer wants a certain number or color or whatever and buys them before the auction than pays fair market value after the auction. I could be wrong but I thought that's what's going on with those weird numbered lots.

[MSparks]

Ya it sold for 150us but if the lot sells for more will get the difference but if it sells for less i get 150 . Just never had that happen before.

[Beavershmever]

The trapper gets fair market price? What does nafa get?

[kingrat]

Nafa gets commission just like any other lot. Imo they shouldn't allow it to happen especially on hot items, it's an auction not a fur store.

[Beavershmever]

I can see nafa taking care of a good customer but trapper should get a premium if furs don't make auction.

Agreed. As much as I’d appreciate a guaranteed price, seems suspect to allow a preferred client to partially cover their needs outside the auction room before the auction. I’m no expert but to me everyone should be bidding for the available goods

[kingrat]

Exactly that's one less buyer in the room bidding up a product that for now looks like a shortage that's in hot demand.Ive also got 2 in lot 190001 so how many got whisked away before the auction.

[Saskabush]

I could see it if these were very small sample lots being sent out as product samples etc. But it seems like a fair number of good quality skins made it into these lots. I have 2 in 190001, and 1 in 190003. My trapping partner has 1 in 190002. I’ve seen others asking the same thig on one of the FB groups here in SK. I’m sure it’ll all come out in the wash but at the moment I’m not sure I like it.

Just checked again and my partner has 3 in 190001 as well as the 1 in 190002

[Beavershmever]

They can sell private treaty can't they? Curious what they moved them for

[kingrat]

Ya but private treaty is supposed to be after the sale and for items that never sold. You can guarantee that these coyotes would have sold very easily

[Beavershmever]

Be interesting to see how nafa explains this one. First time I have seen this. Looks like quite a few pelts too

[kingrat]

They do it quite abit with all types of fur, even bears but that's another story that will upset me.

[H380]

I have pelts in all those grades and they never touched any of mine. Where are those lot numbers in the catalogue or how many pelts were sold this way?

MED colour pelts were preferred in the first auction last season and they sold for the most. I remember not having very many MED as I watched them sell. The second auction I was excited to see that I had a lot of MED only to see a different colour being more preferable.....lol. :angry3:

Someone mentioned the pelts selling for US$150. That’s CD$197. I get the point that the buyer won’t have to bid on the pelts but I’m not sure that I’d be too disappointed with that kind of money......especially for a II pelt.

[kingrat]

Ya not sure where that came from because I was told they determine the fair market value after the sale. So if the other similar ones sell for 150 than that's what u get.

[Saskabush]

Ya. None of mine have a dollar value anywhere in the lotting or any other notes at all. Just the strange lot #s that don’t show up anywhere in the catalog.

I do have other coyotes that graded the same in the regular lots that show up in the catalog.

If this how it went down then the only way it happens imo is if nafa gets a offer they can't refuse but only pay the trapper market value. Why else would they? Has to be something in it for them.

[MSparks]

It was just the 1 pelt that happened like that i spent a while on phone with nafa and if they have a buyer that is bidding online they tend to buy a sample from the lot and have it shipped to them . The lot number isnt listed in the sale either its 549646

[Beavershmever]

How much did you get paid for that one?

[H380]

While we are on the lotting letter subject ,there is no description on them as to the section quality like there is on your final sales printout ..is there a way to find this out in advance of the sale?

[Buck du Nord]

I have to say that I'm a little bit disappointed about my grades on this auction ... but not surprised. I've caught almost the same number than previous years but the quality of the fur was not as nice than last season and I can't really explain why. I start my trapping season only in December and I close everything earlier than usual. So most of my coyotes been caught in their prime time. No select, only two *I, couple I-II and a lot of grade II. Still can't wait to see the results...$$$ !

Never noticed that, youd think there would be since pretty soon you'll no longer get a printed out result package in the mail. It will all be online, it might even be this sale it starts I cant remember.

[Big Grey Wolf]

Guys, NAFA has been in the fur business for along time. They do everything they can to get our fur moved at best price. Their commission is based on price.

[Beavershmever]

Nobody is trying to knock nafa. They do a great job and are the best in this business. I think they understand the industry better then anybody and will do the right thing that's best for trapper and customer. Guys are just curious is all.

[Jtstahl]

These are my top grades. Alot better then they were last year but I knew that going in. My coyotes had improved quite a bit, especially in colour. Ultimately I'm satisfied.

I'm short one coyote. It's not showing up in my lotting letter. I'm hoping it will show up in the next couple days. I heard it normal for that to happen. Anyways, best of luck on the sale everyone. God bless. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190224/30beeda8ea7f9401d5316e2cde6a84b0.jpg

This is an excellent point and a great question to ask Mary. I'd even be happy to have the info after the sale but I don't know of any reason why NAFA wouldn't post it before the sale. Those descriptions explain a lot as to why the pelts sold for what they did (ie. PR, ELY, RUB, etc). Do you want to email Mary or should I?

I had one beaver pelt that had 4-8 beside the grading. "Off Colour - Red Rim". That's all that NAFA would have to add for all pelts. At least I'll know why that particular pelt sold (if it sells....lol) for less than others graded the same without the Red Rim.

Some other members of AO told me to click on the PDF file in catalogue and the quality listing will come up .. Doesnt work in my case . Email her if you like , I'll just wait til sale day I guess and see what shows when they sell .

[kingrat]

Anybodies Fisher or marten showing up as graded. The catalog was posted yesterday but still nothing. This waiting is killing me.

[bronze]

For your grade break down just click on the name like beaver or coyote and it will go to another page.
My marten and fisher are not posted yet or my fur counts, as some were missing.

[kingrat]

Ya but they're asking about section, it's on your print out you get after and describes the overall quality such as pr for poor, Ave for average,RB for rubbed, ely for early etc.

[BDRG]

You can look up each of your lot #'s and find the codes that way, slow to do if you have big numbers in the sale but might satisfy your curiosity.

[APAShooter]

Did any of you guys that had coyotes pre sell get in touch with NAFA and find out the real deal what is going on? Might clear up a bunch of speculation.

[209x50]

How did your fisher and marten grade?

[Kenmore]

What does the * signify beside the grade#?

[kingrat]

Means they're labeled. The buyer gets a label saying that it was the best whatever at the sale basically. That they can sew into the inside of the coat or whatever.

[Kenmore]

Thats pretty cool. Thanks for the info!

[kingrat]

How did your fisher and marten grade?

I only had 2 Fisher on this sale one is a small *1 extra pale 3 and the other is a large *1 pale 3. I thought the small would have went select but oh well. How'd you make out.

[kingrat]

I told you what was going on, a buyer who wants usually a smaller number of pelts is able to buy them before the sale and once the sale is over and a price has been established (fair market value) than that's what your paid.

[Beavershmever]

Is that confirmed or just what your telling us?

[204ruger]

Evening, I’ll start out by saying I’m new to the forum. I phoned to talk to Mary about the 190000 lots that we are all curious about and what she said is that a handful of furs were handpicked to go to the Hong Kong show as examples and so when the auction happens, however much furs go for that are in the same class of the ones that were sent that’ll be how much you get paid.

Yes exactly. I see a number of I Black that sold for nice $. Considering the work involved its sad what the typical grey/brown goes for. $120-$140usd??? For the work involved, I can’t justify sending them to auction. I will have tanned and sell privately.... or stack them up on my couch. Here’s hoping my one 3XL Sel marten goes for big $. 15 minutes for the marten. Total 5 hours/wolf for likely the same price. I love snaring wolves, but apparently not in it for the money.

[kingrat]

Yes wolves that are complete have their feet done up and are sold mainly for taxidermy, dont waste your time doing up ugly ones though just because they have their feet doesn't mean they're worth lots. Most (normal) looking ones from our parts are worth what a coyote is and usually less, with 3 times the work.

Will be fur that is already processed..(tanned etc)

In 2013 we got 162.00 US for our best marten, this year $51.00 US. Only coyotes prices held, thankfully, at $1.25 a liter for gas and diesel was almost $1.40 in Valleyview...…………………….

Yeah RFMA at this point in time make absolutely no sense financially. I never set for anything on mine because of it. My junior went after fisher and marten and caught a few in some target areas. Refuse to harvest lynx for the price we are getting. Why can’t Alberta be like NWT where fur harvest is backed by government...like farming here

I had a beaver sell Private Treaty but which one?

I'm not crazy about how hard it is to track my fur with the new website. Hopefully they make improvements to it.

Dear NAFA,

"Is it possible to improve the website to include the previous function of linking the fur in our account to the auction catalog? Cross referencing lotting numbers to the catalog is very cumbersome and simply clicking on the lotting numbers in our account that linked to the catalog was much easier.
Thank you."

I think they are working on it. I’ve double clicked on the lot number and it brought me to the catalog like before but not on all animals. So I hope they work the rest of the bugs out.

Pike, only problem if you do not target your lynx, they will clean out your marten as well as the rabbits, apex preds.
