NAFA lotting
 
Coyotes are up. Grades are listed but no lot numbers yet.

rbsask 02-19-2018 01:00 PM

Already took them down must have been a mistake

rbsask 02-21-2018 01:50 PM

Ok now there up guys

HunterDave 02-21-2018 06:15 PM

Thanks! The first time that you posted I checked my yotes and I was absolutely shocked with such horrible grades. Before I had the chance to print them out they disappeared. Now that they are back up again, all the grades have changed for the better and I'm a happy (relieved) Trapper now. :)

How about a loan ?..lol . you will do great , congrats .:sHa_shakeshout:

rbsask 02-21-2018 07:03 PM

Thanks guys. I found the coyote quality way better then other years. Did your guys grade about what you thought they would?

kingrat 02-21-2018 07:12 PM

My coyotes graded slightly better than I thought they would, and beaver were slightly worse which I'll take anyday. Coons graded good, Fishers really good, rats were normal and my skunks are a no show damn it.

My grades than I thought on the coyotes. Nice surprise.

HunterDave 02-21-2018 09:20 PM

Congrats on some really great grades, rbsask!

I’m really happy with my coyote grades.....much better than what I had expected.

I made a mistake with my beaver pelts though. I missed the last receiving date last Spring so I rolled the finish pelts and stored them in the freezer. The creases in the hide from rolling them was enough to get them a SLT grade instead of being labelled. I did manage one top lot somehow though. Not an expensive mistake but still......

Those look like excellent grades. Good deal. You have some smaller ones up your way eh? I assume those are female. Either way good grades congrats.

Big Grey Wolf 02-24-2018 11:38 AM

Spruce with all your SEL and *1's along with small sizes you have a good chance of getting a Top Lot fisher.

For awhile there they had coyotes listed to sell next week, but I see now that are changed back to tomorrow like they had been originally scheduled. That warehouse must be a busy place.

The word cluster comes to mind ..:thinking-006:

Big Grey Wolf 02-26-2018 09:08 AM

I find NAFA well organized when you realize they are processing, lotting and auctioning 5 million pelts in 6 days from 10 provinces,NWT/Yukon and large number of US states.

Bill,

The small and med are always female. Large are males.

There is a SSL lot of LBR's, it will likely get top lot. Fisher is a funny animal though, it all depends what color the guys fro Greece want. I have gotten top lots for LBR, PL, and XP. The MED fisher and LGE Fishers will likely be Top Lots for their sizes.

Yes , but too bad they cant decide what day they are selling stuff . Coyotes were first listed as Feb27 Tuesday , then Mar4 and now back to Tuesday .. :thinking-006:

HunterDave 02-26-2018 09:39 PM

What’d I miss? :)

Eleven of my 13 beaver sold for a $15 average and my two red fox were bought back. Oh, castor sold today for a $4 average. Exciting stuff! :)

Marty S 02-27-2018 02:37 AM

4 x 16 = 64

$64... Is that what you are saying?

(on this fine, nearly full moon night???)

(I've got my eye on you Davey)

APAShooter 02-27-2018 09:25 AM

I made just as much off my castors as i did on my Beaver pelts.. it's a crime what they sell for now days. They really need to find a new market for short hair.

kingrat 02-27-2018 09:35 AM

$4 an oz for number 1 castor is what you got Dave?

No, that was an average. I had 6 CLN, 13 ORD and 4 SHL. I put everything in including the empty castor from the smaller beaver. I have plenty of SHL to make lure with so I have no use for it.
Marty......23 x US$4......BIG bucks, friggin HUGE!!!!
I tan anything smaller than a large pelt so the pelt to castor amount won't add up. :)

HunterDave 02-27-2018 10:47 AM

Where are they in the auction? Coyotes coming up soon?

FCLightning 02-27-2018 11:06 AM

Just logged onto the live auction - they are 1/2 way through the mink.

HunterDave 02-27-2018 11:35 AM

Got it....Thanks.

FCLightning 02-27-2018 02:09 PM

8 coyotes in the top lot just sold for 610.
